Bommai’s fresh attack on Congress, says Congress lacks faith in its MLAs
Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Friday said that the Congress party does not trust its own MLAs and candidates hence is trying to negotiate with the MLAs of other parties ahead of the counting day of the Karnataka Assembly Election.
Speaking to media reporters outside his residence in RT Nagar in the city, Bommai expressed confidence that his party will secure majority in the assembly and will retain power in the state.
"I have been saying the same thing from the beginning. We will get a clear majority. We are confident of winning and will cross the majority mark. We will reach the magic number," he said.
"I have called the high command and apprised the high command about the situation here. The high command is also confident of winning, and the BJP will form the government," he added.
Responding to the Congress party's efforts to forge an alliance, Chief Minister Bommai categorically stated that the BJP had no intention of entering into such a coalition. "There is no question of us forming an alliance. We will cross the majority mark. Let the Congress do whatever meeting they want to do. They have the right to do that. All parties will hold meetings," he remarked.
