Soon after being chosen as the BJP legislature party leader on Friday, R. Ashok said he and party State president B.Y. Vijayendra would work as jodettu (a pair of bullocks in harness) to strengthen the party.
Mr. Ashok said the duo would tour the State like veteran leader B.S. Yediyurappa, who is known for repeatedly embarking upon State tours.
Accusing the Congress of indulging in large-scale corruption, he said the priority for him and Mr. Vijayendra for now was to free the State from the “maladministration” of the Congress.
