"His (Yeddyurappa's) performance as Chief Minister is good," BJP national general secretary and chief spokesperson, Ravi Shankar Prasad told reporters, responding to questions. He was asked about senior BJP leader L K Advani's comments in Chennai last Sunday where the latter said he is not happy with what is happening in Karnataka. Advani had also said, "The party is taking corrective steps. In other states, where the BJP or NDA is in power, their performance is really exemplary."
Prasad said Advani is the party's top leader and BJP does not make 'counter-comment' to what he had said, but added that the government's image definitely needs improvement. He said the government has done well in terms of its performance, particularly programmes announced in the budget, agriculture and Information Technology.
"I am sure the work of the Karnataka government is very good in terms of its performance," he said, adding, the government's achievements need to be told to the country. Opposition parties have repeatedly charged the CM with corruption, favouritism and nepotism.
