Expressing confidence about his Government completing full term, Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Friday said the question of the BJP taking support of the JD(S) would not arise at all.
Confident about the BJP winning all the 15 seats going to the bypolls on December 5, Yediyurappa said he was not bothered about the possibilities of the Congress and JD(S) coming together again to form the Government, in case the ruling party fails to garner required seats to remain in majority.
“We have complete confidence that we will win in all 15 seats, this fight is only to see- with what margin we will win. It is the expectation of the
people that Yediyurappa Government should continue for three and half more years, he said.
Speaking to reporters at Haveri, the Chief Minister said the opposition were free to speak anything and they have that freedom.
The ruling BJP needs to win at least six seats to remain in a majority in the 224-member Assembly, which would still have two vacant seats — Maski and R R Nagar.
Among the segments going to the bypolls, 12 were held by the Congress and three by JD(S), whose coalition government collapsed due to rebellion by the disqualified MLAs.
To a question about the possibilities of Congress and JD(S) joining hands to form the government after the bypolls, Yediyurappa said “We are not bothered about it, it is left to them (whether they come together or not).
