Mysuru: Hitting back at the State BJP President B.S. Yeddyurappa (BSY) for predicting early Assembly polls in the State, Chief Minster Siddharamaiah wondered whether Yeddyurappa was the Election Commissioner to say so. Speaking to press persons upon his arrival at Mandakalli Airport this morning, Siddharamaiah who was en route to Gundlupet to take part in the Congress Thanksgiving Convention there, said that Yeddyurappa had earlier acted as Income Tax Commissioner when IT raids were carried out on Congress leaders and now he was acting as an Election Commissioner, saying that Assembly polls will be advanced by Siddharamaiah.
Asserting that the Assembly polls will take place only in May 2018 as scheduled, he expressed confidence that the Congress would retain power.
