Following BS Yeddyurappa’s resignation as the Karnataka Chief Minister without facing the floor test in the state Assembly, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav on Saturday said truth can never be defeated and it will always defeat “a lie or liar”.
In a tweet, former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister said, “Truth can never be defeated! Truth will always defeat a lie or liar!,”.
Truth can never be defeated! Truth will always defeat a lie or liar! #KaranatakaFloorTest
