By The Karnataka assembly polls are set to be a crucial battleground for the BJP, as it seeks to topple the ruling Congress-JD(S) alliance in the state. In a bid to gain the edge over its opponents, the BJP has announced that BY Vijayendra, the son of former Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa, will be contesting the polls. While his candidacy has faced opposition from within the party, the BJP is hoping that his father’s popularity and anti-incumbency sentiments will help secure a win for the party.
