Karnataka Congress Chief DK Shivakumar on Wednesday exuded confidence that the Basavaraj-led BJP government in Karnataka will not be able to secure more than 65 seats in the elections slated in the state later this year.
“We’re confident of our numbers. We know BJP will not get more than 65 seats. According to my information, they will come down to 40 seats,” Shivakumar told reporters. He recalled that they (BJP) had got (40 seats) earlier also when BS Yediyurappa was Chief Minister.
Shivakumar said that all people including farmers are saying the same thing that the BJP party will not get more than 65 seats this time.
“We have almost discussed 75% of seat allotments. Decision on all seats will be taken soon, then we’ll send them to high command,” he added.
