BS Yediyurappa is now in a firefighting mode amid protests over reservation issues with the polls just over a month away.
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 over BY Vijayendra's candidature 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.
His remarks came at an emergency press conference in Bengaluru, a day after the Election Commission declared that the state polls will be held on May 10.
