Shah to announce BJP list soon: BSY

State BJP President B S Yeddyurappa said that the party has already prepared the list of candidates for 28 Lok Sabha constituencies and the party president Amit Shah will release the list of candidates shortly.

Speaking to media persons on Tuesday, he said, "We have a target of winning 22 seats in Karnataka out of 28 and the electoral strategies are being chalked out".

Referring to the Congress leaders' dissidence over the announcement of Madhu Bangarappa as nominee of coalition partners from Shivamogga for Lok Sabha polls, he said the BJP is not bothered about it.

Hailing the surgical strike by Indian Air Force firefighter jets on terrorist camps in Pakistan, he said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has delivered what he had promised. "Our men are giving befitting reply to the attack on CRPF soldiers in Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir recently."
