Belagavi, Jan 31 (IANS): Former Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa on Monday announced his retirement from electoral politics.

Yediyurappa, who is also a member of the BJP's Central Parliamentary Committee, however, clarified that he will continue to be in politics.

Addressing reporters here, Yediyurappa said that he won't contest in the upcoming Assembly elections, adding that he is not planning to contest any elections in future. "I am 80 years old now. I can't contest elections," he said.

He said that he will continue in active politics and maintained that his only aim now is to bring the BJP government back to power in the state. "I aim is also to ensure the return of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to power in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections," he added.

Yediyurappa is batting for a befitting position for his son B.Y. Vijayendra in the party. He earlier announced that Vijayendra would contest from Shikaripura Assembly constituency, which he represents. Later, he said that the party would take a final call on it.

Party insiders claimed that Yediyurappa is snubbed within the party and prevented from taking up independent yatras and tours. His announcement sent political circles buzzing.

    20 seats will be less for bjp because of Shri Yediyurappa ‘s retirements..and exits... if not more losses .. this is from peak of 105 which bjp won on their own. ... ... party of bjp confused like a deer looking into headlights.. All solutions are expected by Modi shah visits ... What a pathetic state of bjp in Karnataka... no confidence in themselves ..

    Kharge, Diggi,Siddharam and the list is endless, who are more or less senile and do not know what they talk except knowing that they should be servile to the madam and joker. This policy doesn't exist in BJP, leaders are told to retire honourably when they cross the age of 75, only very few continue after crossing this age due to various external factors

    I happened to see BSY near Iskon temple in Bengaluru in Nov last year. BSY, in fact is very old. He walks slowly and needs assistance at times. So its high time to exit gracefully. Not sure how he will remain 'active'. Anyways , political affiliations apart, we need to wish him a happy retired life.

    Yediyurappa is 100 times better than Bommai. For every decision Bommai has to fly to Delhi for instructions.

He would have realised his nothingness ultimately... He must now spend more time with his grand kids and visit the park to meet n greet his contemporaries....

    The rift is out -- A polite rebellion -- too much interference from NEW DELHI and our servile local BJP karnatak leaders famous for being in Supine position -- Was the only Lion from Karnataka -- No room for Hindutva politics -- was in all his statements secular -- Regardless of party affilliations a great innings and karnataka will miss him -- -- Wishing a good retired life -- Hang your boots and enjoy rest of your life -- SIR --

    Nadda/Shah/Modi may have promised him a Padma next if he helps them by not contesting in coming elections. First is that people won't vote for him, if they do keeping Modi in mind like they did to our Kateel hero, he will demand to be CM. ನುಂಗಲಾಗದ, ಉಗುಳಲಾಗದ ತು....
