Bellary:  Our government is in power because of those 17 people who joined BJP party. We respect them, said, Laxman Sawadi, Deputy Chief Minister

Speaking at a Press Conference, Sawadi said, “ It is left to CM BS Yediyurappa to decide whether to expand or restructure the cabinet. BJP has its own way of functioning. BJP party will decide whom to give ministerial position and BSY will finalise”

“CM’s political secretary Santosh’s suicide attempt was personal,” he added

Also, speaking about Belgaum border dispute, he said, “ Bellary division was done. But there are a few problems in the division of Belgaum district. Also, the Cabinet has given in-principle nod to create Vijayanagar district”
