The former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa on March 9 said a clear picture on the party’s candidates for the Lok Sabha election in Karnataka would emerge on Sunday after the BJP election committee meeting. The BJP has not yet announced its candidates in the State, while the Congress on Friday came out with seven names.
“I am going to Delhi tomorrow. Tomorrow evening there is an election committee meeting. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will also take part in it. Already, one round of talks has taken place with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP president J.P. Nadda. Tomorrow we can get a clear picture,” Mr. Yediyurappa told reporters here.
On seat-sharing arrangements with the JD(S), which has joined the BJP-led NDA, he said there was no clarity on which seats would be given to the JD(S) as yet.
