News Desk: At a state executive meeting at Davanagere, on Sunday, former chief minister of Karnataka BS Yediyurappa said that Modi wave is not going to help BJP win state elections. He advised to reach out to people with development works.
Yediyurappa’s advice at the state executive meeting
“Let us not be under any illusion that we can win all elections by using Modi’s name. It may be easy to win Lok Sabha elections but in the state, we cannot bank only on that. We must reach out to people with development work.
We know what will be the message if we lose these elections. We shouldn’t think these will be easy wins. The opposition is strong and we should give due credit to them and their calculations. The next two years are packed with elections.
No doubt BJP will retain power at the Centre after the 2024 Lok Sabha polls under Modi’s leadership. However, one must strengthen the party to ensure success in all elections. We should take leaders of the SC, ST and other backward communities into confidence and form teams of youths and women at the booth level.
We’ve learnt that KPCC president DK Shivakumar has contacted two of our MLAs. I told workers to be cautious as Congress leaders are actively seeking power and warned them not to underestimate opponents”
BS Yediyurappa resigned the post of Karnataka chief minister in the month of July
BS Yediyurappa resigned from the post of Karnataka chief minister in the month of July. He handed over his resignation to Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot and said that the party leaders will decide who the next CM will be.
On his resignation, he said
“No one from the high command forced me to resign. I urge my ministers to cooperate with the one who will become the next chief minister.
I will continue to work for the welfare of the people in Karnataka. I will work to bring BJP back in power in the next elections.
At a time when there were no cars, I remember cycling to work for the BJP party in Shikaripura, Shimoga. We, along with a few BJP workers, built the party and took it to where it is today.
When Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the Prime Minister, he had asked me to be a minister at the Centre. However, I said I will be in Karnataka and serve the people of the state” Yediyurappa said during an emotional speech. He added, “It has always been an ‘agnipariksha’ for me in these last two years since there was a pandemic”
