Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah today said BS Yeddyurappa was "mentally disturbed," in response to a question about the BJP leader's claim that his party would win 150 out of Karnataka's 224 elected Assembly seats.
The BJP "can't get more than 60-65 seats," he said.
The chief minister also said the Congress would get a clear majority. "No doubt on this."
Recently, in an exclusive interview with India Today, Siddaramaiah denied there was any anti-incumbency in his state, where no party has returned to power since 1985.
"100 per cent I will be re-elected," he said.
While several opinion polls suggest today's election will produce a hung Assembly, Siddaramaiah said he didn't "trust them at all."
"Such pre-poll surveys are not based on ground reality."
The vote in Karnataka is a do-or-die battle for Siddaramaiah and Congress president Rahul Gandhi, for a loss to the BJP could leave the Grand Old Party with just Punjab, Mizoram and Puducherry.
