Yeddyurappa, who has the support of 129 MLAs, including 49 from the Janata Dal-Secular, exuded confidence of passing through the trust vote.
"I assure you that our coalition government will complete 19 months. Let there be no doubt about it," he said.

He said the government's main priorities would be to provide a result oriented and responsive governance, maintain communal harmony, to take into confidence all sections of the society and ensure the safety of the minorities and the weaker sections like SC/ST and empowerment of women.
