Bengaluru, May 11: Karnataka BJP president BS Yeddyurappa has claimed that his party will come to power with the help of disgruntled Congress MLAs after results for the Lok Sabha polls are declared on May 23.

Speaking to reporters after meeting party leaders and workers here, Yeddyurappa said that as many as 20 Congress MLAs, who are unhappy with the way the JD(S)-Congress coalition government is functioning, are ready to switch sides to the BJP.

He further said: “The BJP’s strength in Assembly will increase from existing 104 to 106 after Kundgol and Chincholi by-elections. Two independent MLAs will support the BJP. Infighting in the Congress-JD(S) alliance is out in the open. The coalition partners are worried about the impact of the results of the Lok Sabha elections and Assembly bypolls on the government. Let us wait and see on the moves by the disgruntled Congress MLAs after May 23.”

“Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy is staying in a resort. The coalition government is not responding to people’s problems. The political atmosphere in the state has spurred us to work enthusiastically,” Yeddyurappa added.

Comments

This man talks like ERFU.

At any cost he wants to be CM again by hook or crook. He doesn't hesitate to do any shameless thing to achieve his dream.

He is another pain in ass in Karnataka like Modi.

God save us

"The Congress President Sonia Gandhi has approved the proposal for the candidature of B K Hariprasad and Naseer Ahmed as Congress candidates to contest the biennial elections to the Legislative Council of Karnataka to be elected by the MLAs," the AICC said in a release.

Polling will be held on June 29 to fill seven MLC berths, and June 18 is the last date for filing of nominations.

While the BJP is in a position to win four out of seven seats, the Congress can win two and the JD(S) one.

Twenty-eight valid votes of MLAs are required for each candidate to win.

Hariprasad’s candidature has been announced as his tenure in the Rajya Sabha is coming to end on June 25.

He has also served as general secretary of the party.

Naseer Ahmed, who is retiring as MLC on June 30, will be seeking another term.

According to state Congress president D K Shivakumar, more than 200 aspirants have sought tickets for the two seats that the party can win in the legislative council polls.
