‘Will stake claim in Kalaburagi with JD(S) support’
Kalaburagi: BJP general secretary N Ravikumar on Monday expressed confidence of the saffron party staking claim to power in the Kalaburagi City Corporation (KCC) with the support of the JD(S) corporators. The BJP came in second in the election to the KCC Council, winning 23 seats, while the Congress bagged 27 seats in the civic body. “The BJP will get both the mayor and deputy mayor’s posts.
There will be no operation or surgery, but the lotus will bloom in Kalaburagi,” Ravikumar said.
Pointing out that the BJP had achieved its best result in Kalaburagi in this year’s elections, Ravikumar said, “We have taught the Congress a lesson. The BJP would have done much better if the voter turnout had been higher.”
He said that a legislator from Kalaburagi would be allotted one of the four vacant ministerial berths in chief minister Basavaraj Bommai’s cabinet. Ravikumar admitted to the saffron party suffering a setback in the civic polls in Kalaburagi owing to the failure to induct a legislator from kalyana Karnataka into the cabinet.
