Former Karnataka Chief Minister B. S. Yediyurappa has exuded confidence in his son BY Vijayendra, who will be contesting from the Shikaripur assembly seat and said that he would win with a margin of 50,000 votes. Yediyurappa also said that BJP would get an absolute majority and form the government in Karnataka.

"I've no doubt that we will get absolute majority and form the government in Karnataka. Nobody can stop it. Vijayendra will win with a margin of 50,000 votes," B.S. Yediyurappa said as quoted by the news agency ANI. BY Vijayendra on Wednesday slammed the Congress and said everyone knows who has ditched the Lingayat community.

“As far as corruption is concerned, the public knows about Congress. As far as the Lingayat community is concerned, people in Karnataka know who has ditched the Lingayat community. Everybody knows that it was the Congress party that fought against the Lingayat community. The entire Lingayat community and other communities are with BJP,” BY Vijayendra said, as reported by ANI.

He also said, "It's not important for me to become the CM, but it's very important for me how the party has reposed its faith in me, so I have to work for the party". The state will go to polls on May 10 and the votes will be counted on May 13.  The term of the current Karnataka Legislative Assembly would end on May 24, 2023.

BJP's Arvind Chauhan, Kalaburagi District Yuva Morcha General Secretary, and former Zilla Panchayat member resigned from the Bharatiya Janata Party on Tuesday after he was denied a ticket from the Chittapur assembly constituency for the May 10 state assembly election. Instead, BJP fielded Manikanta Rathod from the Chittapur constituency. Priyank M. Kharge from Congress is the sitting MLA from the Chittapur constituency.
