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.

Davangere: Two policemen injured in stone pelting during Ganesha procession
Davangere: Reports state that two groups engaged in stone pelting at each other during Ganesha idol immersion ceremony in Davangere on Thursday. Two police personnel were injured in the incident.
Few days ago, two groups of youth engaged in verbal altercation regarding raising of a flag for Eid Milad celebration. On account of the clashes, police had heightened security for the Ganesha procession. Despite the additional security, stones were pelted at the procession, sources stated. Inspector Gururaj and constable Raghavendra were injured in the incident. The procession continued after the police brought the situation to control. However, the stone pelting resumed once again as the procession surged forwards.
Security has been tightened up in the area and all shops have been closed down by the police. The two police personnel, who were injured in the stone pelting, are undergoing treatment at a hospital.
