CM set to woo farmers, B'lore
Bangalore: What with the country headed for Lok Sabha elections before the next budget, Yeddyurappa would be under political compulsion to deliver a populist budget to consolidate his party's position ahead of the general elections... As Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa rises to present his BJP government's maiden budget in the Legislative Assembly on Thursday, he would be quite relaxed about one thing: his Congress and JD(S) political rivals are no longer in a position to challenge the government's stability. The resignation of five Opposition MLAs has ensured that.
