Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on March 24, claimed that the BJP-JD(S) alliance in Karnataka will prove to be beneficial to the Congress in the coming Lok Sabha elections.
Speaking to reporters at Mysuru airport on Sunday, Mr. Siddaramaiah said the Congress could make no electoral gains in Karnataka when the party tied up with JD(S) during the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. Similarly, he said, the alliance between the BJP and JD(S) in the 2024 Parliamentary elections will not help the alliance partners, but would instead benefit the Congress.
When reporters asked him how exactly the alliance would benefit the Congress, Mr. Siddaramaiah refused to divulge the “secret”. “I can’t tell you all that. Certain aspects are best kept as secrets,” he said with a smile.
