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.

‘Hand over ‘Muda scam’ to CBI’, demands Chalavadi Narayanaswamy
Bengaluru: Legislative Council Opposition leader Chalavadi Narayanaswamy stated that the MUDA site allotment scam must be given over to a CBI investigation. Only this could bring out the real facts, he said. He was speaking to the press people at Jagannatha Bhavana, BJP state office, in Bengaluru on Friday.
Alleging that attempts were afoot to bury the MUDA case without allowing a CBI investigation, Chalavadi Narayanaswamy said that the Congress should have celebrated the Valmiki Jayanti as a day of repentance, if it had any humanity. "The CM must immediately resign and all those who loaded the all the MUDA files onto a helicopter must also be investigated", he added.
The BJP leader alleged that corruption had stopped being an offence to the CM and Congress party. "The Congress government has appointed a wolf to guard the sheep. Despite heavy corruption taking place, those who come out of jail are in a jubilant mood. Valmiki Jayanti only happened yesterday. I felt ashamed when Siddaramaiah was celebrating it. How right is it for the people who gulped down the Valmiki Corporation to celebrate Valmiki Jayanti?" he questioned.
Referring to ED raid on MUDA office, taluk office and the house of the land owner Devaraju, Narayanaswamy said that this happened because the investigative agency's repeated request for MUDA files had been rejected. He alleged that the government wanted to bury the facts of the case and the MUDA sites were 'unnecessarily' returned. "President Marigowda has been removed. Officers there have been shifted to different departments. All this points at the fact that a huge corruption had happened there", he said.
