Cries in favour of BJP leader B.Y. Vijayendra from his supporters at a meeting convened to campaign for the party candidate in the ensuing elections to the Legislative Council from South Graduates constituency in Mysuru on Tuesday appeared to have irked Minister for Housing V. Somanna.
A large number of Mr. Vijayendra’s supporters, who had gathered for the meeting, shouted slogans in favour of their leader, who is also the son of former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa.
When cries like “Mr. Vijayendra, the next Chief Minister” continued to rent the air even when Mr. Somanna was addressing the meeting, the latter was evidently upset. He cautioned the slogan shouting crowd against “belittling” others while praising one person.
