Bengaluru, Jan 1: Karnataka BJP chief BS Yeddyurappa on Monday said his party was not attempting to dislodge the JD(S)-Congress coalition government in the state but predicted that it would fall on its own before the joint session of the legislature likely to be held in February.

“BJP is not making any attempt to destabilise the government. But we are definitely not sanyasis to sit quiet and watch the government fall,” Yeddyurappa told reporters here. “We too have ambitions and we will do everything possible to form the next government in the state.”

Dismissing the allegation by former chief minister Siddaramaiah that the saffron party is offering Congress MLAs ₹25 crore to ₹30 crore each to defect, Yeddyurappa said, “There is no need for the BJP to pull down the government. The government is already in a state of confusion, with several discontented Congress and JD(S) leaders and ministers.”

“Siddaramaiah has been repeatedly making irresponsible statements,” he said. “Such allegations do not suit his stature. He should furnish evidence before making such allegations.”

Yeddyurappa also rejected speculation that he or any of BJP leader is in touch with Congress MLA and former minister Ramesh L Jarkiholi, who has remained incommunicado after being dropped in the recent ministry rejig.
