BJP will get 15 seats more than halfway mark: Shah

In an interview with HT, Shah said that there was no question of announcing a CM candidate in the state when Basavaraj Bommai was the sitting chief minister, while adding that former chief minister BS Yediyurappa remained a tall leader of the party who was campaigning tirelessly for the BJP.

"Based on my feedback and my experience, I am confident that the party will win reach the halfway mark and win a minimum of 15 additional seats. The elections results will surprise everyone," he said.

When asked about the pressure to name a chief ministerial candidate from certain groups such as Lingayats, Shah asked, "(Basavaraj) Bommai is the sitting CM, where is the question of announcing a name?"
