Yediyurappa’s statement came at a time when three of his harshest critics — BJP leaders A.H. Vishwanath, Basanagouda Patil Yatnal and Tourism Minister C.P. Yogeshwar — are often raking up the issue of a change in leadership in the state.
Yediyurappa met Governor Vajubhai R. Vala at the Raj Bhawan here on Wednesday, and claimed that his visit was ‘personal and devoid of politics’, as he paid a courtesy visit to enquire about Vala’s health as he had undergone eye surgery recently.
After his visit, the Chief Minister told reporters that two years from now, the BJP will retain power in the state with 130+ seats.

Talking about the meeting with the Governor, the Chief Minister said, “We discussed various issues including development matters, and I told him about the works we are doing. He also gave some suggestions.”
He added that he would resume his fortnightly visits to the districts from next week onwards, and will visit 10-12 districts in the coming days.
