Bagalkot, October 16: Former chief minister Siddaramaiah said that BJP state President BS Yeddyurappa was a liar and he has to face a biggest shock.

Responding to Yeddyurappa’s statement that the Congress has to face the shock, Siddaramaiah told reporters at Jamkhandi on Tuesday that “If Yeddyurappa opens his mouth, he speaks lie. He has been murmuring that the government will collapse. But the government is still safe”, he said.

No differences

There was no difference in Ballary Congress. After discussing the pros and cons, the Congress has fielded the candidate. All leaders would work hard to elect the party candidate, he clarified.

The Congress and JDS have made an alliance in the by-election. The Congress has not fielded its candidates in some places. In the same way, JDS has not fielded its candidates. The Congress-JDS coalition would win all the seats in the by-election, he said.
