Disqualified Karnataka MLAs slam Yediyurappa for ruining their political careers
Bengaluru: Disqualified Karnataka MLAs on Saturday slammed CM Yediyurappa for allegedly ruining their political careers as they said their careers are now under the clouds of uncertainty.
According to the reports Yediyurappa held a secret meeting with a group of disqualified MLAs after the Election Commission announced dates of by-elections in 15 constituencies represented by the disqualified MLAs.
The MLAs reportedly told Yediyurappa that because of his their political careers were hanging with uncertainty.
“You became CM because of us. And because of you our political careers have almost come to end. We believed in you and you have brought our existence in question. It is better you us poison” the MLAs reportedly to Yediyurappa during the meeting.
To this the Karnataka CM tried to assure the MLAs that he and his party were supporting them. “You need not worry about anything. I will myself go to Delhi and speak to leader and legal advisers. There is no doubt that you will be contesting the by-polls” Yediyurappa explained to the inconvincible MLAs.
The MLAs then reportedly demanded postponing of by-elections so that their legal battle in SC can conclude before the election.
