Bangalore : The Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) Saturday decided to support a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government in Karnataka with B.S. Yediyurappa as chief minister.
Former chief minister H.D. Kumaraswamy of the JD-S gave a letter to BJP state party chief D.V. Sadanand Gowda here Saturday expressing his party’s support to Yediyurappa as chief minister.
Yediyurappa was deputy chief minister in the earlier JD-S-BJP coalition government.
Kumaraswamy is likely to meet Governor Rameshwar Thakur at 4 p.m. to submit the letter of support.
The JD-S-BJP coalition government in the state had collapsed when the BJP pulled out of the ministry headed by Kumaraswamy after he refused to make way for Yediyurappa to succeed him as per the understanding reached between the two parties 20 months back.
Kumaraswamy resigned Oct 8 and the state was brought under president’s rule and the assembly kept in suspended animation on Oct 9.
