Pointing to defeat of some turncoats in assembly elections in Maharashtra and bypolls in some states, senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Thursday said 'defectors' in Karnataka would face similar outcome in the coming byelections leading to resignation of Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa.
"I won't say that this result (Maharashtra and Haryana asssembly polls) will have its implications on bypolls in the state, but people will defeat defectors; people have defeated defectors in Maharashtra polls, also in Gujarat bypoll," the former Karnataka Chief Minister said.
Speaking to reporters here, he claimed "Even in Karnataka, if byelections are held for 15 assembly seats, majority (of them) we will win and a situation will arise for Yediyurappa to resign."
Asked if the Congress would form the government if the BJP ministry falls, Siddaramaiah, the leader of opposition in the state assembly, said: "we will go for polls.we will not go for a minority government like Yediyurappa."
On once again joining hands with JD(S), he merely said, "we have got an experience from that (coalition)"
