Bengaluru: Union Cabinet Minister and JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy has dismissed reports suggesting a lack of coordination between the Janata Dal (Secular) and the BJP in opposing the Karnataka government's decision to provide a 4% reservation for Muslims in government tenders.

In a post on X, Kumaraswamy asserted that both parties are aligned in their stance and have strategised their opposition to the Congress government's decision. He revealed that a meeting of the NDA 'Coordination Committee' was held in Bengaluru before the legislative session, where a blueprint for the protest was formulated.

"The Congress government, solely for electoral gains and vote-bank politics, is ruining the reservation system, which is based on the ideal concept of 'social justice.' By turning reservation into a tool of appeasement, it is misleading the people of the state," Kumaraswamy wrote. He further stated that the JD(S) and BJP have jointly participated in various public struggles and will continue to do so.

His remarks come amid reports that the JD(S) has decided not to support the BJP's agitation against the Muslim quota. Party sources had earlier stated that JD(S) legislators were advised not to join the protest, citing former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda’s role in introducing the 4% Muslim reservation. The party leadership had reportedly earlier clarified that while it would support the BJP on issues like price hikes and corruption, it would not compromise on its ideological position regarding reservations.

Meanwhile, Karnataka BJP leaders have vowed to intensify their protest against the quota. State BJP president B Y Vijayendra announced a statewide campaign to "educate Hindus about the injustice meted out to them by the Congress." Leader of the Opposition R Ashoka had earlier indicated that the party would continue its efforts to convince the JD(S) to participate in the agitation.
