Bengaluru: Taking a potshot at Congress-JD(S) CM candidate, H.D. Kumaraswamy, without naming him, Yeddyurappa yesterday recalled that some leaders had said during the campaign that they would die if they were not elected to power. “But I will not die for power, I will die for my people, because they are the masters in a democracy. I will tour the State and we will win 150 seats in the next Assembly elections, which may happen anytime. I will put in my papers due to a conspiracy of the Congress Party,” he said before leaving the Assembly, shaking the hands of the Opposition and his own party’s leaders.
Before leaving for Raj Bhavan to hand in his resignation at the end of what was one of the shortest tenures of any government, Yeddyurappa announced in the House that he would not rest until the BJP won 28 Lok Sabha seats in the 2019 general election and 150 seats in the next Assembly polls, which he predicted could happen anytime.
