Somwarpet: Despite the BJP failing to form a government in the state, BJP MLA from Madikeri M P Appachu Ranjan took potshots at the Congress and Janata Dal (S) at the victory rally organised here on June 4.
Addressing a huge gathering, Ranjan said that the people of the district had given a befitting reply by defeating the political parties that supported the policy of caste-based politics and shrewd use of party rebels. “The Congress and JDS were hellbent on defeating me by using party rebels and caste politics. It has clearly blown up on their face”, he said.
Rajan also thanked the voters for electing him as their representative. “Out of the six elections that I have fought, this was the most important. The electorate supported me wholeheartedly and I am thankful to them”, he said.
The Congress-JDS unholy coalition will last only for the next 6 months after which BJP would come to power under the leadership of B S Yeddyurappa, he predicted.
