In a special state executive committee meeting, BJP's Yediyurappa challenged Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah to dissolve the legislative assembly, claiming BJP would win over 140 seats. He blamed Congress’s corruption for its loss of popularity, citing Congress's underperformance in Lok Sabha, winning only nine out of 28 constituencies despite a previous landslide of 136 state assembly seats. Financial irregularities in KMVSTDC and MUDA were noted. He urged BJP to demand the CM’s resignation in the legislative session.
