Siddaramaiah alleges BJP-JD(S) alliance in Varuna constituency; ‘he’s panicking’ says CM Bommai
Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Basavaraj Bommai has said that Congress leader Siddaramaiah’s comments on infighting in the BJP and ‘secret alliances’ with other parties merely reflect his panic regarding the outcome of the Assembly elections.
He was speaking to reporters on Thursday, when he was asked to comment on Siddaramaiah’s recent allegations on a BJP-JD(S) alliance in the Varuna constituency, where Siddaramaiah is the Congress candidate.
“While everyone was hoping for Congress tickets, the JD(S) fielded a former Congress candidate. Then, do we consider this a secret alliance of the Congress with the JD(S)?” Bommai mocked.
He added with confidence, “The Congress and JD(S) have joined hands in my constituency, Shiggaon, but this does not scare me. I do not indulge in making such allegations, nor do I bother about alliances as I wish to be self-dependent while contesting the elections.”
Bommai further said, “Siddaramaiah has won several elections from Varuna. So far, there was uncertainty regarding his constituency for the upcoming elections, but now, we see uncertainty for him regarding the political activities in the constituency itself.”
The CM added, “All candidates, after all, get into the fray desiring victory in the polls. Siddaramaiah too will win only if he is empowered – his victory would not depend on alliances.”
