The former CMs Devaraj Urs and Njalingappa have launched their regional parties that have not made any impact in state politics.  The former CM B S Yeddyurappa had announced that the regional parties pose setbacks to national progress and urged the voters not to support them. However, at the new development, Yeddyurappa has floated his party – Karnataka Janata Party (KJP) and he has to face the consequences, said minister Ravi.
