BJP national organising secretary B.L. Santhosh urged the party supporters to ensure the BJP returns to power in Karnataka with a clear majority.
Addressing a meeting of representatives from different communities in Shivamogga on Sunday, April 30, Mr. Santhosh said in the past, the BJP came to power two times with 110 and 104 seats. B.S. Yediyurappa and Basavaraj Bommai could not perform as they could have in the case of a full majority. “When they came to rule with the required strength of MLAs, they had to spend time to ensure the flock was together. However, it would be the situation if the party comes to power with a clear majority,” he said.
Criticising the Congress rule in the State, he said the Siddaramaiah government withdrew cases filed against PFI activists, which led to the murder of Hindu youths. They did not remember Kempe Gowda, but spent time appeasing the Muslims by celebrating Tipu Jayanthi.
