Bengaluru: Former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddiyurappa on Thursday cleared the air around the reports of possible rift and internal turmoil in Karnataka BJP and added that the reports were mere speculations.

Speaking to the media reporters, the former CM said there was no confusion or issues in the party and that he will do everything to bring the party back to power in the state.

He also spoke about reports that a certain section in the party was trying to sideline him and finish his political career and added "I have my own source of strength nobody can finish someone's political career just like that."

"I have built the party and brought it to power in the state. People of the state know this. And I am confident I will bring the party to power once again. There is no difference of opinion within the party." He added.

“Nadda will be coming to Koppala. I will be attending his event. Circumstantially I was unable to go to the program today due to some other reason. Now circumstances have arrived at a state now that suggests I must go. Therefore I am going. CM is also coming for the event. Both of us will attend the event together. There are no differences of opinion, confusion within us”, he informed. 

“I will cover the length and breadth of the state. There are pro-BJP sentiments throughout the state.  Under the leadership of Modi, Amit Shah, and Nadda, more events will be conducted in the state. As a result of all of this, we will resume power with a clear majority. There is no basis to the claim that the party has neglected me. I have been attending all the programs. Since it is not right for me to go to government events, I did not go, that’s all”, he said.

Chennai: Actor-politician Vijay has reportedly not been invited to take oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after failing to demonstrate support from the required number of MLAs, sources in Raj Bhavan said.

According to media reports that quoted sources in the office of R.N. Ravi Arlekar, Vijay could not prove the backing of 118 legislators, the majority mark in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly.

Despite last-minute efforts to secure support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazagam (AMMK), and an IUML legislator, Vijay reportedly managed support from only 116 MLAs, falling short by two members.

Sources said Vijay failed to submit letters of support from the VCK and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).

Later, the IUML issued a statement clarifying that it was not part of the TVK-led alliance.

Meanwhile, AMMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran is also said to have informed the Governor that his party would support the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) instead.

Earlier in the evening, Vijay had met Governor Arlekar and staked claim to form the government, stating that he enjoyed the support of 118 MLAs.
