Bangalore: The first BJP government on its own in the south will be sworn-in on May 28 with the party almost getting a majority, party sources said in Bangalore.
B S Yeddyurappa will take oath as Chief Minister, the sources said but refused to share further details.
The party, on the verge of winning 111 seats, just two short of the magic figure 113 required for a simple majority, said it has the support of four independents out of the seven who are close to victories.
