Ahead of the crucial confidence vote to be sought by Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy, BJP state president B S Yeddyurappa Thursday exuded confidence that the motion would be defeated.
"I don't know what their party (coalition partners Congress and JD-S) is going to do but we are 105. They will be less than 100. Hundred per cent we are confident that the confidence motion will be defeated," Yeddyurappa told reporters at the Vidhana Soudha, which houses both the houses of Legislature.
To a question whether Kumaraswamy would resign Thursday with numbers stacked against him, Yeddyurappa said, "Let us wait and see."
