Senior Congress leader G Parameshwara on Friday hinted at the possibility of his party once again having an alliance with JD(S) if the ruling BJP failed to garner the required number of seats in the December 5 bypolls to remain in a majority.
His remark comes days after the regional party patriarch HD Deve Gowda’s cryptic remark in this regard sparked speculation. “After the bypolls, as we feel- if people dont elect the disqualified legislators, naturally BJP will lose majority and the Government will fall.
In such a situation both our parties (Congress and JDS) can form a Government or President’s Rule may be imposed and then mid-term polls may be announced, Parameshwara told reporters in Tumakuru. To a question on Deve Gowda’s comments, he said there may be a possibility of Congress and JD(S) forming the Government once again. “This is what we have to understand from his statement.” “Two parties will have to form a Government. Either JD(S) and BJP should form a Government or JD(S) and Congress like in the past will have to form one, he added.
