Shivamogga: No one is trying to topple the Congress-led government in Karnataka. Bringing down a government with a full majority is the height of foolishness, said BJP Parliamentary Board member and former chief minister B S Yediyurappa.
"No Congress MLAs are being invited to the BJP to bring down the government," he told reporters here on Saturday.
He also claimed that "we have worked to save the lives of people during Covid-19 pandemic. There had been no corruption or financial irregularities. However, the state government has maliciously formed an SIT. It has raised the Covid issue to divert public attention from its failures."
"We will face all kinds of investigations and emerge free from all allegations," he added.
Yediyurappa mentioned that NDA-supported candidates will win all the three seats in the by-elections held in the state recently. He added that a committee formed by the BJP on the Waqf issue will tour the state and submit a report.
