MYSURU:  Former MP and JDS leader LR Shivarame Gowda on Sunday said that a change in leadership in the state BJP, followed by a Cabinet expansion, would lead to political uncertainty and result in mid-term polls in the state.

"No one should be surprised if polls are held next year," he said, adding that the BJP was a divided house— a section in favour of CM BS Yediyurappa and the other wanting his ouster. He hit out at the government for "failing to handle the Covid-19  and the flood situation in the state."
