Bengaluru, Sept 13: Taking a jibe at BJP, former minister MB Patil has said that the BJP fires in the air. His statement came when the saffron party’s claim of 14 MLAs of Congress being with them was proved wrong.

Speaking to reporters in the city on Thursday, he said, "We are in touch with the 18 MLAs of the BJP. But the BJP should disclose who is in contact with them.

Patil, who said that no BJP leader had contacted him, said “all the 78 MLAs are eligible and it is up to the party high command to select.

There are minor issues in all districts, including the Belgaum problem. KPCC President and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, both are resolving them. Today or tomorrow I will talk to KPCC President and Jarkhiholi brothers, Patil added.
