JD (S) is not secular party as it has joined hands with BJP: Siddaramaiah
Mysuru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday said “The JD(S) is no more a secular party as it joined hands with the BJP a decade ago to form government.”
He passed this comment while speaking at a meet-the-press event in the city.
During the meet that was organised by the Mysuru District Journalists’ Association, the chief minister called JD (s) leaders “opportunists”.
He said the Congress was not making a pre-poll alliance with any party, but if it were to join hands with anyone, it would only be with secular parties. When reporters asked him whether the party would choose the JD(S) as its ally in case of a hung Assembly, Mr. Siddaramaiah responded: “The JD(S) is not a secular party. It is no more a secular party as it joined hands with the BJP a decade ago to form government.”
He also accused the JD(S) of being hand in glove with the BJP. “With none of their leaders attacking each other and targeting only me in their campaigns, their hidden agenda is clear,” he said.

2 men dragged for 300 metres by truck in Agra; locals save their lives
Agra, Dec 23: A truck driver dragged two people for about 300 metres in Agra under his vehicle, police on Monday said.
Some locals forced the driver to stop the truck and extricated the men from under the vehicle.
Police arrested the driver and seized the truck.
The two men, both residents of Nunhai in Agra, were going towards Rambagh from Waterworks when they met with an accident around 11 pm Sunday.
The driver, instead of stopping the truck sped up, trapping both of them underneath, police said.
"In the accident, two youths were dragged by a canter driver for about 300 metres. Later, some residents saved the youths by stopping the driver using force," Chhatta Police Station Inspector Pramod Kumar told PTI.
"The youths were sent for treatment at a nearby hospital and are still being treated, but are in stable condition. The youths were from Agra. The canter driver was arrested and the canter seized after the incident," he said.
A video of the incident that surfaced on social media showed the men shouting for help.
The video was purported to have been shot by a person passing by on a two-wheeler.
