BJP has for the first time openly claimed that "there is discontent among the elected MLAs in Congress and JD(S), who are not happy with the alliance and willing to join BJP".
Responding to fast-changing developments after the result of Karnataka Assembly Elections 2018, BJP legislature party meeting is being held at the party office in Bengaluru. All the elected MLAs will elect the party leader and then immediately move to Raj Bhawan to stake a claim to form the government in Karnataka. Much before the polls, BJP had announced Yeddyurappa as its chief ministerial candidate.
BJP has for the first time openly claimed that "there is discontent among the elected MLAs in Congress and JD(S), who are not happy with the alliance and willing to join BJP".
"People want BJP govt and we will form it. Anyone can create unnatural tensions, but people of Karnataka are with us. After meeting, we will take necessary steps. This attempt made by Congress to make a backdoor entry is not appreciated by the people of Karnataka," said Union Minister Prakash Javadekar.
Prakash Javadekar in also BJP in-charge karnataka.
Prakash Javadekar has termed Congress-JD(S) alliance as "unethical marriage of convenience".
BJP leaders are confident of meeting Governor Vajubhai Vala today. "During the legislature party meeting, the leader will be elected. From there we will go to Raj Bhavan immediately. We will claim to form the govt. Most probably we will ask the Governor to give us time tomorrow,"
said BS Yeddyurappa.
BJP emerged as the single largest party in Tuesday’s results of Karnataka’s high-stake state elections but fell agonisingly short of crossing the halfway mark, triggering suspense and drama through the day over who will rule the crucial southern state.
The fractured mandate prompted Congress to join hands with rival and third-placed JD(S) to somehow keep BJP from coming to power.
BJP got 104 seats out of 222 for which polling took place on Saturday. Ruling Congress was reduced to 78. JD(S) managed 37 seats.
