Bangalore, April 19: BJP's chief ministerial candidate BS Yeddyurappa has made sensational comments ahead of Karnataka elections here on Today.
he said that, he would win the seat by of margin of at least 30,000 votes.
As BJP supporters took out a huge procession, Mr Yeddyurappa waved to the crowd from an open vehicle accompanied by union minister Ananth Kumar and Chhattisgarh chief minister Raman Singh.
"I have come to file my nomination and I am going to get a minimum lead of 30,000-40,000," he said.
The only time he lost the constituency to the Congress was in 1999.Yeddyurappa is a Lingayat, a dominant community that makes up an estimated 17% of the state's population.
The BJP hopes this will help counter any support the Congress may have won with its recommendation of a separate minority status for Lingayats who have traditionally voted for the BJP.
