Mocking Congress and JD(S) for calling each other “B team” of the BJP, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Saturday said that it only shows that both have accepted BJP as the “A team.”
“We are happy about it. Why should we worry about who is the B team?’’ said Mr. Bommai in Belagavi on Saturday, reacting to the Rajya Sabha results announced on Friday in which BJP won three out of four seats, while Congress won one seat and JD(S) drew a blank. After Congress and JD(S) failed to support each other’s candidates, resulting in BJP walking away with a third victory, both the Opposition parties have been accusing each other of working to ensure the saffron party’s victory as its “B team”.
