The former CM is confident that the BJP will more than 125 to 130 Assembly seats and will form the government on May 17.
“BJP will win more than 125-130 seats, Congress will not be able to cross 70 seats and JDS will not cross 24-25 seats. There is a silent and strong wave in favour of BJP and public anger against Siddaramaiah and Congress,” Yeddyurappa told the reporters.
He added, “He (PM Modi) is in touch with me and Amit Shah. Everybody is confident of winning with an absolute majority. We are 100% sure of forming the government on May 17.”
