Cong, JD(S) finalise contours of coalition K’taka postpoll alliance ‘unholy’; state voted for change: Shah
cuss all the modalities related to government formation with the JD(S) leadership and the party’s local leaders.
A combined meeting of the Congress and JD(S) legislators has been called in Bengaluru on Tuesday.
After those meetings, the two sides will announce decisions regarding the swearing-in and other formalities.
“There is no bargain. We will cordially work things out. We must work together. I am here to take the advice of Congress leaders,” Kumaraswamy said when asked how the two sides are going to address the sticking points related to government formation.
“We are going to give a stable government. All these issues are not yet discussed. We have not discussed any future course of action,” he said. NEW DELHI: BJP president Amit Shah on Monday described the Congress-jd(s) joining hands in Karnataka as an “unholy alliance”, while defending his party’s decision to stake its claim to form a government, and denying charges of horse-trading.
“We were the single-largest party,” Shah said. “The BJP significantly improved its tally in terms of seat and vote share.” The BJP won 104 seats as against its 2013 tally of 40 seats.
“There is no confusion that it was an anti
Congress mandate.
We are short of just seven seats,” Shah said.
