JDS to have alliance with like-minded party: HDK
Bengaluru, May 7: If there is a hung assembly after the election, the JDS would support those which respond positively to the party, said JDS state president and former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy.
Releasing the party manifesto at a programme at JP Bhavan in Bengaluru on Monday, Kumaraswamy said that the JDS is in favour of total six crore people of the state. He would not knock the door of any national party for chief minister post. The party is ready to sit in the opposition place. If any political party accepted the JDS manifesto, then he would think of extending his support to that party, he said.
Some activists and writers have been putting pressure on supporting the Congress instead of BJP. But both Congress and BJP are opportunists. In order to shield the corrupt, they have weakened the Lokayukta. For power, he would not knock the door of any national political party, he clarified.
Media surveys on election outcome were just assumptions. They have given the statistics as per their interest. But the people of the state have interest towards JDS. As the party would get majority on its own, there would be no question of depending upon anybody. If the voters decided for hung assembly as per the surveys, he would not demand support from any party. But the party would extend its support to those who accept stand of the JDS, he said.
It was BJP government which fixed percentage for bill clearance, and awarding contracts and Congress has continued that practice. When the BJP has got the kick-backs through cheques, the Congress has got in cash. It would have been better if Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke after knowing all these, he ridiculed.
The Yeddyurappa government had made burden of Rs 83 lakh crore loan, while Siddaramaiah government has made Rs 1.50 lakh crore burden on people of the state. Both the governments have looted the tax money, he blasted.
