While stating that there was no need to build a narrative around former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy sporting a saffron shawl, Janata Dal (Secular) supremo and former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda said on Friday that he would be using his own party’s colours if he is invited to share the platform with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
‘Cannot fight’
“The JD(S) and the BJP is working together for the Lok Sabha elections with a seat-sharing arrangements to fight against the Congress. In such a scenario, if someone puts a saffron shawl on Mr. Kumaraswamy, he cannot fight there, and there is no need to discuss much about it,” Mr. Gowda told presspersons in Delhi.
