JD(S) is joining hands with BJP only for its survival, says Boseraju

Criticising the Janata Dal (Secular) for its attempts to forge an alliance with the BJP ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, Minor Irrigation Minister N.S. Boseraju has said that a secular Janata Dal(S) has compromised to join hands with a communal BJP just for its survival.

“If the Janata Dal(S) wants to forge an alliance with the BJP, it is a matter concerning that party. But it shows that ideology is not important for the Janata Dal(S). Whenever it gets a few seats in the Assembly elections, it attempts to join hands with one party or the other only to share power. Joining hands with the BJP this time is for saving the party which is sinking in the State,” Mr. Boseraju said, during his brief interaction with media persons in Raichur on Monday.

When asked about senior Congressman B.K. Hariprasad’s attack on Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, the Minister said that the party’s high command will address the issue and correct things.
