Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has said the BJP-JD(S) alliance will suffer defeat in the coming Lok Sabha polls as the alliance failed to work in the recently-held election to the Teachers’ Constituency of the Legislative Council in Bengaluru.
Addressing the gathering after inaugurating government works at Banavara in Arsikere taluk on Saturday, Mr. Siddaramaiah said, “People elected our candidate, defeating the candidate of the JD(S)-BJP alliance. The alliance will meet with the same fate in the Lok Sabha polls”.
Referring to former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda’s statement, the CM said Mr. Deve Gowda had once expressed his wish to be born as a Muslim in his next life. But now he had joined hands with the BJP.
