Bengaluru: The party leadership would decide on his future role, says Karnataka BJP Vice President and former Chief Minister B. S. Yediyurappa’s son B. Y. Vijayendra on Monday August 16 as he rejected reports about him making efforts to become either a Minister or State Unit Chief.

Speaking to media persons, he said, “there is no question of me aspiring to become a minister or the State President. Our’s is a national party, not a regional party, so there are State and Central leaders to decide on what position or responsibility should be given at what time,” he added.

It can be recalled here that there were reports that BJP veteran Yediyurappa had mounted pressure on party leadership and the current Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai to induct his younger son Vijayendra into the new cabinet.

“BJP national president J. P. Nadda has expected us to give more importance to the old Mysuru region,” he added while noting that he will have to travel across the State being the party vice-president.
