BJP high command will take a decision: Srinivas Prasad
Former Minister and BJP MP representing Chamarajanagar Lok Sabha constituency V. Srinivas Prasad on Tuesday said the BJP does not need the support of JD(S) in the ensuing elections to the Legislative Council.
Fielding reporters’ queries during a press conference here, Mr Prasad said the BJP had proved its worth by becoming the only party other than Congress to come to power at the Centre on its own. The support of JD(S) is not inevitable.
He referred to the alliance JD(S) had with the Congress during the Lok Sabha elections of 2019. “How many seats did you win? You could win only one seat each”, he remarked.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
