However, later in the afternoon, Yediyurappa said, "Yesterday there were discussions about all the constituencies. Today again our national president JP Nadda had called me for a few more clarifications. I have explained them. He may clear it (list) this evening or tomorrow".
The Karnataka BJP strongman denied that there was any delay in releasing the list saying that discussions had taken place and it will be finalised.
When asked whether he was unhappy as he was not present in the meeting in the morning convened by Nadda, Yediyurappa denied it and said, "Whatever suggestions I had given they (BJP leadership) have agreed. We are going to get absolute majority and we are going to form the government. There is no doubt about it."
