Hassan, Aug 11: Rubbishing the rumours about Janata Dal-Secular MLAs accepting Bharatiya Janata Party’s offer in the state as baseless, Public Works Minister H D Revanna has claimed that around 20 BJP MLAs are ready to leave the party to join the JD(S).

Speaking to media persons here yesterday he said: “Nobody from JD-S will join the BJP. I too have heard about efforts from the BJP to woo MLAs. But they will not succeed. In fact, more than 20 MLAs are in touch with us, but we have told them to remain with the BJP,” he said.

Reacting to BJP State president B.S. Yeddyurappa’s statement that Mr. Revanna was “super CM”, he said he had no wish to react to such statements. “Those with no work tweet such comments. I would not wish to react to them. Let the BJP leaders convince the Centreand waive farm loans totally,” he said.
