Former Karnataka Chief Minister Yeddyurappa’s befitting reply denied a secret meeting with Siddaramaiah.

Yeddyurappa has rejected JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy’s claim that there was a secret meeting between former Karnataka Chief Ministers Siddaramaiah and BS Yeddyurappa.

Former Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa announced on the internet media that he would not rest until the next assembly elections saw the BJP retain power in Karnataka.

He said that we are working with the aim of bringing BJP to power in the upcoming assembly elections. I have never met opposition leader Siddaramaiah personally. There’s no need for it.

I have met him only on the occasion of my birthday on February 27, 2020.

Former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy had issued a controversial statement saying BJP is targeting Yeddyurappa’s allies and close circle through IT raids as he met Siddaramaiah in Mysore to discuss the weakening of the ruling BJP in Karnataka.
