Amit Shah to visit Varuna

Mysuru: The BJP unit in the Varuna constituency has been subject to a lot of confusion following the clash between Thotadappa Basavaraju, the nominee from the segment, and BY Vijayendra, BS Yeddyurappa’s son and general secretary of the BJP Yuva Morcha, to whom the ticket was denied. After the party’s decision to not let Vijayendra contest from Varuna, things turned worse for Basavaraju sine VIjayendra’s followers disturbed his party meetings and conducted rallies to urge people to choose the NOTA option in the election.
The situation has called on the intervention of BJP President Amit Shah in order to flag the campaigning in Varuna. Mr. Shah’s visit on Saturday will give an impetus to Basavaraju’s campaign and might put an end to the rebellion against the party among Vijayendra’s supporters. He will participate in roadshows in Haadinaru village and in the constituencies of Krishnaraja, Chamaraja and Narasimharaja. He will also address party workers in Mysuru and campaign for BJP candidate Manjunath in Periyapatna. He will be spending more time in the Krishnaraja segment since it has been the strongest point for BJP in Karnataka in the last two decades.
Party sources are of the implication that Amit Shah’s visit to Varuna is a symbol of displeasure against both Yeddyurappa and Vijayendra, who have not been participating in the workings of the party for almost 10 days.
