Shikarpuri (Karnataka) [India], Apr. 19 (NT): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief ministerial applicant for Karnataka B.S. Yeddyurappa on Thursday lauded he is confident of a huge win in the upcoming assembly polls.

"I am going to get 30 to 40 thousand lead and everybody is supporting our community people," Yeddyurappa asserted before filling his nomination in Shimoga's Shikarpur constituency.

Further talking about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's mark of respect to 12th-century Lingayat philosopher and social reformer Basaveshwara in London, the former chief minister of the state stated that the move is a message for those who have intentions to divide the Lingayat and Vishveshwara.

Worth mentioning here Karnataka will go to polls on May 12 to elect its representatives for the 225-member assembly while the results will be out on May 15.

It is noted that the JD(S) has fielded a much stronger candidate, HT Baligar, who is a Lingayat. He is campaigning across Shikaripura to enthuse the party workers.

Recent BJP MLA and Yeddyurappa’s elder son BY Raghavendra is handling his father’s campaign in the constituency. Yeddyurappa is expected to campaign only closer to voting day, May 12.
