Mysore/Mysuru: With State BJP Vice-President B.Y. Vijayendra, the son of former Chief Minister and Lingayat strongman B.S. Yediyurappa, showing little interest in contesting from Varuna this time around, the BJP High Command is said to be mulling on fielding another influential Lingayat leader V. Somanna, Minister for Housing, from Varuna Assembly segment as the party candidate to take on former CM and Opposition Leader Siddharamaiah, who is contesting again from Varuna for the elections on May 10.
To add credence to Somanna’s possible contest from Varuna, rumours are doing the rounds in Varuna Assembly segment that Somanna is searching for a suitable house in the limits of the Constituency for camping there during the campaign.
