Bangalore, Sept 28 : Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa has expressed the hope that there would be a smooth handover of power in the state, even as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is yet to convince the Janata Dal (Secular) in this regard.
Yediyurappa said the BJP would hold talks with the JD(S) after September 30, the day when the results of the urban local bodies elections are scheduled to be declared.
“At the moment the party is busy with the polls,” Yediyurappa was quoted by a website as saying.
