New Delhi, October 27, 2007
The Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) made up today after three weeks of war, with JD-S president and former prime minister H D Deve Gowda announcing support to a BJP government led by B S Yediyurappa.
The move paves the way for the installation of the first BJP chief minister in south India, with the BJP-JD-S combine claiming the support of 126 legislators in the 225-member Karnataka assembly
