Belagavi, June 30: The news of Congress MLAs joining hands with BJP is a lie. On the contrary, BJP MLAs are contacting us, said minister Jarkiholi on Saturday.
Speaking to the reporters at Suvarna Soudha, minister said that, no MLA from our party is joining BJP. Instead, MLAs of BJP are in our contact. High command will decided about them joining the party.
Reacting to the statement, congress do not encourage individual worship, by water resource minister D.K Shivakumar, Jarkiholi said that former CM Siddaramaiah is our leader. I and other MLAs had gone to Shantivana in Dharmasthala to know about his health condition.
Siddaramaiah has helped me and congress party a lot. Its our duty to remember him. How can meeting our leader be person worship. That is Shivakumar's personal view. I am the honest worker of congress party, he added.
Congress legislative party leader Siddaramaiah is not opposing the JDS-congress coalition government from presenting new budget. He only advised to continue the schemes introduced during his tenure.
