BJP government completes 100 days in Karnataka

Bangalore, Sep 8 (UNI) The Bharatiya Janata Party, which made in roads in the South by coming to power in Karnataka, will celebrate completion of 100 days tomorrow in the backdrop of criticism over 'Operation Lotus' launched to woo legislators from the Congress and its previous coalition partner Janata Dal (Secular).

Functions have been organised throughout the state to celebrate the day with the main event being held in Vidhana Soudha, the state Secretariat.

Former prime minister and JD(S) national president H D Deve Gowda has organised protests across the state to highlight the ''failures'' of the B S Yeddyurappa government.

The Congress, the main opposition party will also start agitation programmes from October 2.

The BJP launched 'Operation Lotus' as the party failed to gain majority in the May election and was forced to take support of independent Legislators for formation of the government.

It has grabbed the support of seven legislators four from JD(S) and three from Congress.
