Former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda came under flak for allying the Janata Dal (Secular) with the BJP by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah who also accused him of pursuing politics of convenience.
Mr. Siddaramaiah was addressing the public at a rally organised to induct a section of local BJP and JD(S) leaders and workers, to the Congress fold, here on Wednesday.
‘’Deve Gowda in 2014 had vowed to leave the country if Narendra Modi ever became the Prime Minister and had stated earlier that in case of a rebirth he wished to be born as a Muslim. But now he has joined hands with the BJP which is communal and this shows the opportunistic politics being practised by Deve Gowda,” said Mr. Siddaramaiah.
