Bengaluru, September 9: BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa said that “BJP has never done anything to topple Congress-JDS coalition government. But it is sure that some leaders of the Congress will join the BJP”.

Speaking to reporters at his house at Dollars Colony here on Sunday, Yeddyurappa said that the BJP would not try to topple the Congress-JDS coalition government. But he did not know as to why the Congress-JDS leaders were panicked. The BJP has been preparing for the Lok Sabha election. He would shortly start his tour across the state for the Lok Sabha election. As the party has to prepare for the LS poll, he would not go to New Delhi again, Yeddyurappa said.
