It’s about 22 seats, Pakistan ruling party PTI slams BS Yeddyurappa’s controversial remark

Former Karnataka chief minister BS Yeddyurappa, who is also the state chief of the ruling BJP, faced a huge backlash on Thursday, February 28, for remarking that the strikes by the Indian Air Force (IAF) in Pakistan will help the saffron party win 22 out of 28 seats in the southern state in the upcoming general election.

The BJP won 17 seats in the state in the 2014 general elections. "The atmosphere....day-by-day the wind is increasingly blowing in favour of the BJP. Yesterday's action of destroying terror hideouts by entering inside Pakistan has resulted in a pro-Modi wave in the country, the results of which can be seen in coming Lok Sabha polls," Yeddyurappa said in Chitradurga, about 200 kms from Bengaluru. "Just now we got news that a Pakistani jet which tried to enter our border has been chased back. Pakistan has been taught a lesson, after 40 years PM Modi has done it. PM said we'd reply to every drop of blood of our soldiers and he has shown that today. Youth are celebrating; all this will help us in winning more than 22 Lok Sabha seats (in Karnataka)," he said.

Yeddyurappa later tried to explain his words saying he was being reported "out of context" but the damage had already been done.
