Bengaluru: BJP stalwart B. S. Yediyurappa on May 8 predicted that his party would return to power in Karnataka with 130 to 135 seats and Congress leader Siddaramaiah will lose the election from Varuna constituency. He also said V. Somanna, the BJP candidate in Varuna Assembly segment had worked day and night in the constituency and would emerge victorious.
Speaking to mediapersons here, he said Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is going to lose miserably in this election. I am telling you today that we are going to get a minimum of 130 to 135 seats. After the elections we are going to meet again. Whatever I said previously also had come true. Even now I am telling you that we are going to cross 130 to 135 seats and we are going to form the Government, said the four-time Chief Minister.
On why Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not spell out any achievements of the State Government in any of his speeches, the state BJP strongman said the Centre released maximum grants to Karnataka and it’s the reason for Karnataka’s development. There was no need for him to repeat those works. The Prime Minister knows how Karnataka is treading on the development path, he added.
