The BJP is watching the political developments in Karnataka after the resignation of over a dozen ruling Congress-JD(S) MLAs, and those in the party are not “sanyasis” to rule out the possibility of forming the government, state unit chief B S Yeddyurappa said in report by PTI.

“Let’s wait and watch. Are we sanyasis (hermits)? After the resignation process is over and the speaker takes his decision, leaders of our party will discuss and decide,” he said in response to a question whether the BJP was preparing to form the government.

Speaking to reporters in Tumkur, the former chief minister said, “Ours is a national party, after discussing with the national leadership, we will take a decision.” Asked whether the coalition government will collapse, he repeated, “Let’s wait and watch”.
