Bengaluru: Former Chief Minister B. S. Yediyurappa said he welcomed JD (S) leader H. D. Kumaraswamy’s decision to allow local leaders to decide whether or not to support the BJP in the legislative council polls based on local factors.
Speaking to mediapersons on Tuesday November 7, he has expressed confidence that JD (S) workers will back BJP in constituencies where Congress has a stronghold.
According to sources, when Yediyurappa was asked about his son B. Y. Vijayendra getting a Cabinet position, he said that he had not asked the Central leadership to give his son a ministerial berth. He said he would concentrate on strengthening the party in the State.
