Invited to form government in Karnataka, BJP today asserted it would prove its majority in the assembly and dubbed the Congress-JDS post-election alliance "unholy and unacceptable."
Announcing Governor Vajubhai Vala's invitation to B S Yeddyurappa to form the government, BJP national general secretary Muralidhar Rao said the understanding between the Congress and JDS was only "to keep the BJP off."
On the governor's invitation, he said, "We had submitted our willingness and claim... being the single largest party we are accepting the responsibility and expressing the willingness to form the government."
