Yeddyurappa says no mid-term polls, asks coalition Govt to quit If they can’t govern State

Published on: 

Ruling out any mid-term polls, Karnataka BJP President BS Yeddyurappa Saturday said the Congress-JD(S) coalition Government would not survive for long because of internal differences and asked it to quit if they were not able to govern the State.

“I have already said this clearly as the state president. We are 105 MLAs.

There are more than 20 disgruntled (MLAs) in Congress-JD(S). If you don’t have the capability to run the administration, resign,” Yeddyurappa said.

Speaking to reporters here, he said voters of the state would not agree for another election, 13 months after the assembly polls.

“Taking such decisions with selfish motives is not right. Resign and go home, we will run the administration- I have already said this...

According to me, this government will not survive for long if you look at their infighting,” he added.

Yeddyurappas statement comes a day after former Prime Minister and JD(S) supremo H D Deve Gowda Friday said there was no doubt there would be mid-term polls to the state assembly.

Gowda had also said he did not know how long the Congress-JD(S) Government, headed by his son H D Kumaraswamy, would continue and it was in the hands of the senior coalition partner.
