Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar said that several leaders of BJP and JD-S have expressed their interest in joining Congress and induction of these leaders will be beneficial for our leadership and the country.
In a major embarrassment for the JDS high command, the party's Kerala unit has rejected decision to join the NDA for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls and preferred staying with the Left Front government in the state.
India TV-CNX conducted an opinion poll to gauge the mood of the voters and predict which party they are likely to support if Lok Sabha elections are held today.
Siddaramaiah said Kumaraswamy who was under the illusion of becoming Chief Minister once again, expecting a coalition government to come to power with his party's support after the 2023 Assembly polls, is now "disillusioned", and is hence making such statements.
The Janata Dal-Secular has long been a third player in Karnataka where the Congress and the BJP have been the two main parties.
The JD(S) has long been a strong third player with 28 seats in the southern state where the Congress and the BJP have been the two main parties.
Senior BJP leader Yediyurappa, a former Karnataka Chief Minister, had claimed on Friday that Janata Dal (Secular) had tied up with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and that the regional party will contest about four seats.
The JDS supremo’s confirmation comes days after BJP veteran and former Karnataka chief minister BS Yediyurappa on September 8 claimed that Union Home Minister Amit Shah has agreed to give four Lok Sabha seats to the JDS as part of the poll understanding between the two parties.
Janata Dal (Secular) leader HD Kumaraswamy has denied that his party has allied with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha election.
Maintaining that the seat sharing and other things are yet to be discussed, the former chief minister said more than give and take, trust and respect is important for him.
"I had called JD(S) as BJP's b-team, it is getting proved now. JD(S) people used to get angry at me, when I called them b-team. Also they have named themselves as Secular- Janata Dal (Secular)- but have joined hands with communal party," Siddaramaiah said.
Earlier, former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda had said that the JDS would fight the Lok Sabha elections independently in 2024.
