Will win in all 15 segments, claims BJP

The ruling BJP on Thursday alleged that the Congress and JD(S) were "daydreaming" about forming a "union of opportunists" again in Karnataka after December 5 bypolls results, and asserted that the party candidates will win in all the 15 segments.

The message of "strong and stable" BJP government against "kichadi government" of the Congress and JD(S) will be taken to voters during campaigning, the party said.

It put its weight behind disqualified legislators adding to speculation that they will be made ministers, irrespective whether they win or lose the bypolls.

"Congress and JD(S) that ran a coalition government in the state for about 15 months which saw both parties daily indulging in allegations and counter allegations, accusations of nepotism, remote control..they have now started daydreaming once again," minister and BJP leader C T Ravi said.

Speaking to reporters here, he said "They are daydreaming about forming a union of opportunists after bypoll results..they are dreaming about beginning of another innings..."
Responding to speculation about BJP promising minister posts to disqualified legislators, even if they lose in the bypolls, Ravi said "it is not the right question to answer now, but I can only say that this government has come into existence because of them, we have publicly accepted it."
