Son Vijayendra won't contest from varuna: Yeddyurappa
Mysuru: The much-expected proxy battle between Congress chief minister Siddaramaiah and BJP's chief ministerial candidate BS Yeddyurappa from Varuna has been called off. The seat, represented by Mr Siddaramaiah, has gone to son, Dr Yatheendra, who is making his debut in politics. It was expected that he would contest against Mr Yeddyurappa's son.
In the changed scenario, BJP will give the ticket to ZP member Sadanand instead of Vijayendra.
"I am not unhappy. We decided that my son won't contest from Varuna," Yeddyurappa said.
