Kundapura, May 31: State BJP president B Y Vijayendra expressed his confidence in the party's prospects for the upcoming elections, stating, "Lord Raghavendra is my father’s favourite deity. He performs pooja in His name annually. Today, as my father couldn't attend, I've come here."

Vijayendra, while addressing the ongoing MLC elections in Karnataka, remarked, "I'm delighted to see our MLAs, MLCs, leaders, and activists unified in their efforts to ensure the victory of Dr. Dhananjaya Sarji and Boje Gowda."

Speaking candidly about internal party dynamics, he noted, "During candidate selection discussions for the graduate constituency, Eshwarappa himself proposed Dr. Dhananjaya Sarji's name. It appears he has forgotten this."

Expressing his electoral projections, Vijayendra asserted, "We will secure at least the same number of seats as last time, if not more. The BJP-JD(S) coalition will outperform the previous state assembly elections."

He continued, "Congress is in for a disappointment. Despite their confidence, voters will favour us. PM Narendra Modi's leadership and India's development drive have garnered immense support."

Vijayendra concluded with a bold prediction, "Come June 4, whether in Lok Sabha or state assembly elections, Congress will be unable to hinder our victory. BJP and JD(S) will emerge triumphant."

Meanwhile, B Y Vijayendra, along with his family, participated in the Sahasra Narikela Ganayaga at Kumbhashi Angudee Vinayaka Temple, emphasizing the intersection of politics and culture.

B Y Vijayendra and his wife Prema Vijayendra took part in the Homa performed by entrepreneur G Raghavendra Upadhyaya and his family during the Yaga that lasted for one and half hour. The BJP MP offered Poornahuthi and received special Anna Prasada of the temple.
