Yeddyurappa says no mid-term polls; asks coalition govt to quit

Bengaluru: 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 in Bengaluru, he said voters of the state would not agree for another election, 13 months after the Assembly polls.
