Yeddyurappa becomes famous in Pakistan after attempt to politicise IAF air strike

Newsroom, Feb 28: Karnataka BJP president and former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa has grabbed media attention in Pakistan too after he reportedly claimed that air strike carried out by Indian Air Force (IAF) in neighbouring country will help the saffron party in upcoming general elections.

Several Pakistani TV channels today gave coverage to Yeddyurappa’s comment that India's air strikes had resulted in a wave in favour of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and would help the BJP win over 22 of 28 Lok Sabha seats from Karnataka in the parliamentary elections scheduled to take place by May.

In a post on Twitter on Thursday, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI), headed by Imran Khan, also referred to Yeddyurappa’s comment. “Air Force excursions, war mongering, soldiers in captivity and the lives of so many people in danger all equate to 22 seats in the eyes of representatives on India’s ruling party. Is war an election option?” the PTI posted on Twitter.

Earlier, when an eminent Indian journalist posted a comment on the remark of Karnataka BJP chief, Imran Khan’s party took note of it and tweeted: “We hope you understand that you were manipulated into warmongering. #LetBetterSensePrevail; isolate the ppl (people) who r (are) desperate to win an election. War is in no nation’s interest, & (and) its soldiers & (and) civilians who are the collateral damage. Don’t let one man use it for political mileage”.

Meanwhile, Yeddyurappa accused the Indian media of reporting his statement out of context. “My statement is being reported out of context. I said that ‘situation favourable for BJP’ which I am saying for last couple of months (sic). This is not first time that I said BJP in Karnataka will win minimum 22 seats under the able leadership of Modi ji,” he tweeted.

However, yesterday speaking to media persons in Chitradurga Yeddyurappa had clearly stated that the air strike would help BJP in winning more than 22 Lok Sabha seats in Karnataka.
