Speaking to reporters in Karnataka’s Chitradurga, the former Karnataka chief minister said that the preemptive air strikes by the Indian Air Force will help his party, the BJP, win 22 out of 28 parliamentary seats in the state in this year’s Lok Sabha polls.

“The atmosphere….day by day the wind is increasingly blowing in favour of BJP. Yesterday’s action of destroying terror hideouts by entering inside Pakistan has resulted in a pro-Modi wave in the country, the results of which can be seen in coming Lok Sabha polls,” Yeddyurappa was quoted by news agency PTI.

His comments came on a day Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman was captured by the Pakistani military after they downed one MiG 21. The same day, a military helicopter of the Indian Air Force had crashed, killing three IAF officers.

Yeddyurappa’s comments evoked angry reactions from the opposition parties with many concluding that he had given away Modi’s secret plans to start a war with Pakistan because of this year’s Lok Sabha polls.

Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan too had hinted in his speech yesterday that he understood Modi’s compulsion for this year’s elections while denying any role of his country in the Pulwama attack. As expected, the Pakistani media moved in with lightning speed and carried his comments with prominence.

Faced with social media roasting, Yeddyurappa tweeted saying that his ‘statement is being reported out of context.’ Meanwhile, his party colleague and Union Minister VK Singh admonished him for his loose comments. He tweeted, “.@BSYBJP ji, I beg to differ. We stand as one nation, action taken by our government is to safeguard our nation & ensure safety of our citizens, not to win a few extra seats.”
