Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Saturday called on the people not to worry or be afraid of COVID-19 infection, as he vowed to build a 'welfare state' with development as the only mantra, while fighting the pandemic.
Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa who has been hospitalised after testing positive for COVID-19 is "doing well" and is "clinically stable", the hospital treating him said. Subsequently, his COVID-19 test results were found to be negative. Former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda and Leader of Opposition in the state Siddaramaiah have wished Yediyurappa a speedy recovery.
The byelections are being held to fill the vacancies caused by the disqualification of 17 rebel Congress and JDS MLAs, whose rebellion led to the collapse of the H D Kumaraswamy-led coalition government in July and paved the way for the BJP to come to power.
