Kalaburagi: BJP general secretary N Ravikumar on Monday expressed confidence that the saffron party is claiming to come to power in the Kalaburgi Municipal Corporation (KCC) with the support of JD(S) corporators. In the election of KCC council, BJP came second by winning 23 seats, while Congress got 27 seats in the civic body. “The BJP will get both mayor and deputy mayor posts. There will be no operation or surgery, but the lotus will bloom in Kalaburagi,” said Ravikumar.
Pointing to the BJP achieving its best result in this year’s elections in Kalaburgi, he said, “We have taught the Congress a lesson. The BJP would have done much better if the voting percentage had been higher.
He said an MLA from Kalaburagi would be allotted one of the four vacant ministerial posts in Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai’s cabinet. Ravikumar admitted to the saffron party that suffered a setback in the civic polls in Kalaburagi due to its failure to induct a Karnataka MLA into the cabinet.
