"Makes No Difference": Siddaramaiah Jr After Yeddyurappa's Son Pulled Out
The BJP move to pull out the son of BS Yeddyurappa from Varuna will "make no difference", Congress candidate Dr Yatheendra Siddaramiah told NDTV a day after the BJP unit witnessed a virtual rebellion following the shock announcement. The election at Varuna was expected to be a face-off between the sons of the Congress Chief Minister and the BJP's prospective chief minister - till Mr Yeddyrappa announced last evening that his son won't be contesting. "Yeddyurappa's son posed no threat to me... Vijayendra has been here only for two weeks," said Siddaramaiah junior -- a doctor who stepped into politics after the sudden death of his elder brother two years ago.
