Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa has ruled out the possibility of his son and State BJP vice-president B.Y. Vijayendra contesting byelection from Basavakalyan in Bidar district.
The Chief Minister, who was on a visit of North Karnataka districts in the run up to bypolls slated for April 17, said his son will not contest now but the party will take a suitable decision to give him ticket in future elections.
“Now, he is thinking of staying in Mysuru to strengthen the party in four-five districts in the region,” Mr. Yediyurappa said.
