81-year-old BJP veteran B S Yediyurappa, out of power and electoral politics, remains influential in the party's Karnataka affairs. Central leadership relies on him to deliver in the Lok Sabha polls, selecting candidates and quelling dissent. Stakes are high as he must help his son, B Y Vijayendra, consolidate his position as state President amid criticism. Yediyurappa has retired from electoral politics but is still seen as the "man-of-the-season".
