Bengaluru, Jul 6: B S Yeddyurappa, BJP state president, on Saturday, July 6, said that the party has got nothing to do with the resignation of twelve Congress-JD(S) legislators.
As per Deccan Herald, Yeddyurappa told the publication, “I had said earlier that anything can happen. Today, about a dozen MLAs have submitted their resignation to the Speaker’s office. We have nothing to do with this,” Yeddyurappa said, steering clear of speculation that the ensuing political drama was the result of the BJP’s Operation Lotus, poaching of MLAs.
“We will wait and see what happens. We will take an appropriate decision at the appropriate time. Based on what the Speaker does and other factors, we will decide what to do next,” Yeddyurappa added.
Yeddyurappa who was the former Karnataka chief minister and is the current leader of opposition also said, “What pains me is that this atmosphere of confusion is coming in the way of the state's development.”
When asked if he would approach Governor Vajubhai R Vala to stake claim to form the government, the former CM said, "We will not do anything like that.”
