Speaking to presspersons during his two-day visit to the city, Mr. Vijayendra dismissed rumours that Mr. Yediyurappa lobbied hard to secure a ministerial berth for him in Mr. Bommai’s Cabinet. “I am not eyeing a Cabinet post and am also not a contender for the post of BJP State president,” he added.
