Karnataka BJP vice president B Y Vijayendra said his father BS Yediyurappa had not put any condition to make him a minister in Basavaraj Bommai government, before resigning as Chief Minister and added that he too was not aspired to be a part of the new cabinet as he was not a legislator.

Speaking to news persons, Vijendra said Yeddyurappa’  “Condition to Resign” was all created to mark black on the image of the latter. Yediyurappa has struggled for 40-45 years, organised the party and has brought it to this level and made the party as of grass route workers. Yediyurappa had not put such conditions and he too is not hurt for not inducted into the cabinet.Vijendra said the party has given him an opportunity to organise it and he would follow the instruction.

He said for him even aspiring to become a minister is a mistake as he is neither a MLA or MLC. Its wrong asking for a minister post judt because he was Yediyurappa’s son. He added that he was happily functioning as the BJP vice president and work to  strengthen and retain the power on the state.Responding to a question on whether he will contest the Hangal bypolls, he said, the party will decide as to who should contest from there.

Hangal assembly constituency fell vacant following the death of senior BJP leader C M Udasi in June, and there is speculation that Vijayendra may contest from the seat, for which bypoll is yet to be announced.
