There is heightened curiosity in political circles as Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai left for Delhi on Friday to hold consultations with the party high command on issues related to Rajya Sabha and Legislative Council elections to be held next month.
While elections to seven Council seats are being held on June 3, the biennial elections to four seats of the Rajya Sabha from Karnataka are scheduled for June 10.
The BJP circles are particularly curious about whether B.Y. Vijayendra, party State vice-president and son of veteran leader B.S. Yediyurappa, will get the ticket to contest the Legislative Council elections. Though the party State core committee has already recommended his name to the high command, there is still curiosity around the final selection as the central leadership has turned down recommendations on earlier occasions.
