BS Yediyurappa Hints At Fielding Son Opposite Congress's Siddaramaiah In Karnataka

Former chief minister BS Yediyurappa, who is spearheading the BJP's election campaign in Karnataka, today hinted that his son may contest against Congress veteran Siddaramaiah. Siddaramaiah, also a former chief minister, has been fielded from the Varuna seat in Mysuru, currently represented by his son Yathindra. High-level discussions are on to decide if BY Vijayendra will be fielded from Varuna, said Mr Yediyurappa, who is now in a firefighting mode amid protests over reservation issues with the polls just over a month away.
