Yediyurappa Will be Replaced as Karnataka CM after Bihar Poll Results, Says Siddaramaiah

News 18  

Senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Sunday reiterated his claims that the ruling BJP will change its Chief Minister in Karnataka after the Bihar assembly poll results are out on November 10. The statement has come days after Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa had rubbished similar claims by Siddaramaiah terming it "irresponsible" and had even said the latter will be removed as leader of opposition by the Congress, following the party's defeat in bypolls to two assembly segments in the state. Not giving much credence to exit polls predicting victory for BJP in both Sira and R R Nagar assembly segments for which byelections were held on November 3, Siddaramaiah said while the ruling party campaigned by distributing money, his party had gone to the people and hence was confident of winning both seats. He however said exit polls predicting RJD led Mahagathbandhan winning Bihar polls was on expected lines, as people there wanted change, there was a strong anti incumbency against Nitish Kumar led NDA government with unemployed youth and migrant labourers not happy with the current administration.
