Yeddyurappa Jr Not To Contest Election, BJP Workers Erupt In Protest

Mysuru : The sons of the two political veterans running for Karnataka Chief Minister will not face off in the constituency of Varuna in Mysuru. Varuna, a rural area with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah as its current legislator, was prepping for weeks for a show down between Mr Siddaramaiah’s son, Dr Yathindra Siddaramaiah, a pathologist by training, and BY Vijayendra, the son of the BJP’s presumptive Chief Minister, BS Yeddyurappa. Today’s news triggered massive protests by BJP workers in Mysuru, who threatened to resign if Yeddyurappa Junior is not named a candidate.
