The son of senior BJP leader BS Yediyurappa, a former Chief Minister, Vijayendra criticised the Congress over confusion that has seen lawmakers backing DKS rush to Delhi to petition the party leadership on his behalf, and those supporting Siddaramaiah on alert to do the same. “We really don’t know what we are heading… but one thing is sure. The Congress, in spite of having an absolute majority… it is a really unfortunate state what we are seeing…” he told NDTV.
