Senior BJP leader and former Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa has said discussions are still underway on the party joining hands with JD(S) in Karnataka for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls and the central leaders will take a final call.
The statement is a marked dilution of his earlier assertion that both parties have already finalised their alliance for the elections next year and the BJP central leadership has agreed to give the regional party four seats.
Speaking to reporters , Yediyurappa said Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and the party’s central leadership will decide on the alliance.
