Vijayapura, Jul 27(UNI) Stating that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government led by Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa will not last long, former Home Minister M B Patil predicted here on Saturday.

Speaking to newsmen here, Patil, who is also Senior Congress leader, predicted that “the life-span of Yediyurappa government would be around six months to One year”.

Stating that Yediyurappa had come to power through backdoor by engineering defection, he said that “the government will collapse soon”.

Maintaining that the State BJP leaders, by luring the ruling party MLAs, through Operation Lotus had brought disrepute to Karnataka, at the national level, he said that “the government which was formed on immoral ground will not last long”.

Reiterating that the Bengaluru police did not provide ‘the zero traffic’ facility to the rebel MLAs, he said that “as a Home Minister, I myself had refused it, and where is the question of extending it to rebel MLAs."
