Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Sunday rubbished indications by Congress and JD(S) leaders of a possible post bypoll alliance in Karnataka, saying such talks don’t have any value.
He also asserted that BJP’s candidates in all the 15 Assembly constituencies going for bypolls would be victorious.
“People will give them the answer, once the results are out Congress and JD(S) will realise that people are with us (BJP),” Yediyurappa said.
Speaking to reporters during campaign in poll bound Shivajinagar Assembly segment here, he said, he was 100 per cent confident that BJP candidates would win all 15 constituencies going for by-elections. To a query on Congress and JD(S) hinting at the possibility of coming together to form Government, Yediyurappa said, “such talks dont have any value. Those who are insane are talking such things, and it doesn’t have value.”
Sounding upbeat after forming a coalition Government in neighboring Maharashtra, the Congress in Karnataka made it clear that it was not averse to joining hands with JD(S) once again, in case the ruling BJP fails to garner required number of seats to remain in majority, after December 5 bypolls.
JD(S) leaders have already dropped enough hits about the party being open to such a possibility.
Later in the day, speaking to media in Belagavi, Yediyurappa said, 100 per cent there would be political polarisation in the State after the bypolls as claimed by the Congress, as they would bite the dust and remain in opposition, while BJP would continue to govern the state for remaining 3.5 years. “Once the results are out on December 9 it will be clear, people will teach a lesson to Congress and JD(S) leaders.,” he said.
