Justifying the Janata Dal (Secular) alliance with BJP, former Prime Minister and JD(S) supremo H.D. Deve Gowda said that they entered into an alliance to defeat the Congress in Karnataka.
“We want to defeat Congress. We are determined to see Congress in Karnataka is demolished and the era of Congress should come to an end,” the former Prime Minister told mediapersons in Bengaluru on January 5. “Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is expecting the Congress to win 20 Lok Sabha seats. He is dreaming. Probably, the people in Karnataka will vote beyond expectations,” he said.
