JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy on Friday alleged that BJPs central leaders were strategising on removing Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa from the top post.

The former chief minister also reiterated about his partys aim to defeat disqualified legislators contesting the December 5 bypolls to 15 assembly constituencies in the state.

"More than me, central BJP leaders were strategising in Delhi about how soon they can remove Yediyurappa (as Chief Minister)... how to remove him," Kumaraswamy said.

Speaking to reporters here, he said the by-elections were taking place amid confusion in all political parties.

Asked whether Yediyurappa government will not last long, he said "Lets see on December 9 (bypoll results date).

He (Yediyurappa) himself has reportedly (told his cabinet colleagues) that the recently held cabinet meeting should not be last one...he himself lacks confidence."
"We will not fear it, we have seen it enough...we are determined to defeat him (Gopalaiah) and teach him a lesson."
