Bengaluru, Nov 1: Minorities, backward classes and dalits in Karnataka will favour Bharatiya Janata Party in 2018 polls in spite of chief minister Siddaramaiah’s attempts to woo them, according to former BJP’s state president and CM candidate B S Yeddyurappa.
BJP did not field a single Muslim candidate in 2013 Karnataka Assembly polls and 2017 Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls. “The reason behind this is BJP’s decision to give tickets only to winnable candidates,” says Yeddyurappa.
The former CM asserts that BJP’s Ahinda agenda is inclusive of Muslims and other religious minorities. “Muslims also support us. In my tenure as CM, I searched for a Muslim (Mumtaz Ali Khan) to give an MLC seat. If Muslims were not in BJP’s favour, it would not have won in UP,” he said.
“Under the Bhagyalakshmi scheme I started in Karnataka for the welfare of the girl child, 50% of the beneficiaries are Muslims,” he claimed.
