Bengaluru: After the JDS-Congress coalition government led by Kumaraswamy lost the confidence vote, BJP leader B S Yeddyurappa said he will consult central leaders of the party – Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, and then meet the Karnataka Governor.

He said that a new era of development will start from now on ward and that his government would take appropriate decision soon. He said his government would focus on farmers who have been hit by drought and other problems.
