As BJP calls MLAs meet in Bengaluru, Sunil Naik says Yeddyurappa will be CM soon
Bengaluru: Ahead of the BJP’s all MLA meeting on Tuesday, a day before assembly session will begin in Bengaluru, Bhatkal – Honnavar MLA Sunil Naik told reporters that BS Yeddyurappa will take charge as the CM of the state in coming days, yet again fanning speculations of BJP forming the government in the state.
His statement comes amidst rumors of BJP allegedly offering hefty amounts to the opposition MLAs to join the saffron party as a part of ‘Operation Lotus’ to dethrone the Congress – JDS coalition government.
Sunil however, quashed the reports of ‘Operation Lotus’ while admitting that the party is ready to welcome anyone joining on their own.
“The coalition government has failed to satisfy its MLAs and the voices of dissents among themselves are out in public to be heard, we will welcome anyone coming onboard, but reports of we offering amounts and indulging in horse-trading are all baseless” Sunil told reporters in Bengaluru.
“Everything will be discussed in the meeting, today evening and we will come to a conclusion about our further course”.
“Forming the government is definitely in the back of our heads, but not through horse-trading, few of them want to join us voluntarily. We will definitely take them” Sunil added.
“We are all united, we will all attend today’s meeting under the leadership of Yeddyurappa” Sunil said clearing that no BJP MLA was planning to join JDS Congress coalition government as claimed by the latter.

Abhigyan Kundu hits 209 not out for first-ever double ton in Youth ODIs for India
Dubai (PTI): Wicketkeeper-batter Abhigyan Kundu on Tuesday created history with first-ever double ton in Youth ODIs for India, scoring an unbeaten against Malaysia in the U-19 Asia Cup match here.
The 17-year-old Kundu thus recorded only the second instance of a double century in Youth ODIs after South Africa's Jorich Van Schalkwyk, who had scored 215 off 153 balls against Zimbabwe earlier this year in Harare.
Batting at No 5, the left-handed Kundu hit an overall 19 fours and seven sixes to smash 209 not out off only 125 balls.
His knock powered India U-19 to a huge 408 for seven batting first.
Earlier in the same tournament, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi had scored a 95-ball 171 against the UAE, which is overall the ninth highest individual score in the format.
