Not interested in coalition govt; eyeing 123 seats in next elections: Kumaraswamy
Mysuru: Former Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy has expressed confidence that the JD(S) will win 123 seats in the upcoming Karnataka Assembly elections and form the new government.
Addressing reporters on the Chamundi Hills in the city prior to the second day of the party’s state-level workshop on Thursday, Kumaraswamy said, “There is no idea of winning merely 30 to 40 seats and then joining hands with any other party to form the government.”
He also said, “Please do away with the notion that our legislators would agree for a coalition government.”
Kumaraswamy said that the party would come to power by getting more than 100 seats in the 2023 election in Karnataka. “We would be unable to fulfill the promises we make to the people if we form a coalition government by compromising with other parties,” he added.
