Karnataka MLC Election: Karnataka BJP on Tuesday, May 24 announced the list of candidates for the biennial election to the Karnataka Legislative Council. Karnataka MLC Election: BS Yediyurappa son BY Vijayendra out from BJP list.

While it was being speculated that former Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa’s son BY Vijayendra would get a ticket, surprisingly his name has not been included in the list. The announcement of the list came as a setback to former CM B S Yediyurappa as the party national leadership refused to field his second son B Y Vijayendra who is vice president of the BJP state unit – as a candidate for the MLC elections.
The last date of submission of filing nominations is today for the seven vacant seats in the Council. The election will be held on June 3. The election was necessitated as the term of office of seven members is going to expire on June 14.
