Former Chief Minister and the BJP Central Parliamentary Board member B.S. Yediyurappa said on Monday that the party’s alliance with the Janata Dal (Secular) will continue for the coming zilla and taluk panchayat elections.
Former Chief Minister and the BJP Central Parliamentary Board member B.S. Yediyurappa said on Monday that the party’s alliance with the Janata Dal (Secular) will continue for the coming zilla and taluk panchayat elections.
He was addressing party workers after inaugurating the new office of the Sullia Assembly unit of the party in Sullia.
Mr. Yediyurappa said that if the two parties worked together it is possible to rout the Congress in the elections.
He said that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) could win a majority in the Lok Sabha elections in the State as the BJP and the Janata Dal (Secular) faced the elections together.
As the Congress government has hiked the sales tax on diesel and petrol, the prices of essential commodities have gone up, making the life of common persons miserable, he said.
Speaking on the occasion, Bhagirathi Murulya, Sullia MLA, said the party wanted to have its own office in Sullia for a long time. It has been realised owing to the efforts of all former presidents of the district unit.
Meanwhile, the Sullia Assembly unit of the party submitted a memorandum to H.D. Kumaraswamy, Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel, through Mr. Yediyurappa seeking establishment of farm-based industries in Sullia.
