Bengaluru: Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Wednesday dening telephonic conversation with the JD(S) Supremo HD Deve Gowda.
Speaking to media persons he said, “I have not contacted HD Deve Gowda to discuss any issue. He is a very senior politician and knows what is right and what is wrong, therefore he has decided to support us.
BS Yediyurappa’s comment came after former PM assured the that he won’t try to topple the government.
Gowda’s assurance has come in as a relief for the BJP, which will need to win at least six of 15 seats that will go to the bypolls on December 5, to remain in power.
Gowda’s son and former Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy too had recently said his party would not try and dislodge the ruling BJP government like the saffron party had done to his coalition government and had opined that he did not think that mid-term polls would be held.
Kumaraswamy had cited hampering of development work, also ongoing relief and rehabilitation work in flood-hit parts of the state due to mid-term polls as the reason for his statement.
Siddaramaiah, reacting to Kumaraswamy, has said the latter’s statement gave an impression that he would support the saffron party and had recalled that the JD(S) had formed the government with BJP with power-sharing formula of 20 months each in 2006.
