Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on September 9 said that his previous statement that JD(S) is ‘B’ team of BJP has now been proved with the announcement of JD(S) alliance with BJP for the Loksabha election.
Speaking to press persons at Hubballi Airport on Saturday he said: “Whenever I used to call them ‘B’ team of BJP, JD(S) leaders would get angry on me. Now they are aligning with BJP. They have Secular in their party’s name and are aligning with communal BJP”.
Referring to former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda’s statement that they would not align with anyone, Mr. Siddaramaiah said that now through Mr. G.T. Deve Gowda, the former Prime Minister has issued a statement that the alignment was to save the party’s existence in the State. “That means they don’t have any ideology or principle. For power, they can align with anyone”, he quipped.
