Former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa and his son B.Y. Vijayendra adopted a cautious approach on the BJP high command rejecting the latter’s candidature for the Legislative Council polls on Tuesday.
While Mr. Yediyurappa congratulated all those who have made it into the list, Mr. Vijayendra appealed to party workers and his supporters to conduct themselves with “patience and dignity”. He also asked them not to take to social media to make any “unnecessary comments.”
“I would like to convey to all my well-wishers that any unnecessary comments on social media and elsewhere will not only damage the reputation of our party, but would also hurt the sentiments of Mr. Yediyurappa and myself,” he said in a tweet.
