BJP chief seeks to play down claims of party coming to power

Karnataka BJP chief B S Yeddyurappa Friday sought to play down claims by some party colleagues that the Congress-JDS government's days were numbered and BJP would come to power, saying there was no meaning to such comments and his party would function as an opposition.

The party would react to the situation whenever there is political change, he told reporters in Shivamogga.

"If our BJP leaders have spoken this way, there is no meaning to it. We are in the opposition and will work as an opposition," he said in response to a question.

"If for any reason the government falls, let's think about it then. According to me, indulging in any kind of speculation before that is not right.

Let's work as an opposition for as many days as we get... if there is any kind of political changes, let's see it then."
