In a new shift of demanding early polls in Karnataka, BJP leader and former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa said the absence of a democratically elected government was hampering development process in Karnataka. "There is no reason for elections to be delayed in the state as the new voter list would be ready by March first week," he told reporters. At present, Karnataka is under President's rule after the collapse of the BJP-JD(S) government.
B.S. Yeddyurappa, who met senior BJP leaders, said "I have asked the party leaders to convince the Election Commission for early polls" in the state. He said the BJP was demanding early elections since development work in the state has been affected and various welfare schemes have become Stagnant. Yeddyurappa is planning to undertake a state-wide.

On the party's planning strategy for elections, he said, "We will fight elections on the plank of development. Let the people compare our 20-month rule with the previous government. We want no sympathy," he said. Yeddyurappa's eight-day-old government collapsed in November last year after the party's ally JD(S) decided to vote against the government after extending support to it.
