We’ll win four seats in State: BSP leader

Special Correspondent

Bangalore: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) State president M. Muniyappa has said that his party will win at least four seats in Karnataka in the Lok Sabha elections.

Speaking to presspersons here on Sunday, Mr. Muniyappa said that the party would contest all the seats in Karnataka independently. He predicted that the party would win 120 seats in the country. He said that the 200-day governance of the BJP Government was a “total failure”. The land mafia and the mining lobby were the running the government, he charged. The Congress, on the other hand, was a “sinking ship”, he added.

A meeting of the national executive of the party was held here on Sunday.
