BJP will get absolute majority in Karnataka: UP Minister

Mathura/Bengaluru: The BJP will get absolute majority in the Karnataka assembly election slated for May 12, Uttar Pradesh Minister Surya Pratap Shahi said here today.

The Minister for Agriculture, Agriculture Research and Agriculture Education said the possibility of a hung assembly in Karnataka was out of question and that the BJP would “get handsome majority”.

The minister said that the law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh was improving after the BJP assumed office in the state.

He said that the Gram Swaraj Abhiyan, initiated by the prime minister will be beneficial for farmers.
