The senior BJP leader on being asked about Congress having allegedly booked resorts to keep the flock together, Bommai said the party will not get a majority and therefore are in touch with other parties. He said, "they have no confidence in their legislators,” adding that the the BJP is confident of resuming power on its own, ruling out any coalition.
"At present, there's no question of any alliance as they are sure to get the absolute majority. Let the Congress leaders hold any meeting as they have the right to hold it," Bommai said.
