Before meeting the Governor, Yeddyurappa claimed, "BJP will 100 per cent form government in Karnataka".

Union Minister Ananth Kumar, BJP MP Rajeev Chandra Shekhar and Shobha Karandlaje also accompanied Yeddyurappa.

Earlier, the BJP's chief ministerial candidate told media persons that the Governor gave him appointment at 5 p.m.
