Yeddyurappa will form the govt in Karnataka, says Amit Shah

BJP chief Amit Shah said that Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah would lose in Chamundeshwari and Badami, the two Assembly constituencies from which the Congress leader will contest Saturday's crucial election.

He further added that he was certain that BS Yeddyurappa would form the govt in Karnataka.

While several pre-poll surveys suggest the Karnataka election will produce a hung assembly, Shah said the BJP would win more than 130 seats - at least 18 more than the halfway mark in an Assembly with 224 elected seats.
