Mysuru, June 6, 2022 (www.justkannada.in): “The Congress will get a few conscience votes from JDS and BJP for our victory in the Rajya Sabha elections,” observed leader of the opposition Siddaramaiah.
Speaking in Mysuru today, he said, “if the JDS doesn’t want BJPs candidate to win, let it withdraw its candidate. Have we not supported JDS several times earlier? Didn’t we support sending Devegowda to the Rajya Sabha? Didn’t we give CM’s post to the JDS, which had only 37 seats? Thus, we have supported JDS on several occasions. In return, let the JDS withdraw its candidate to help the victory of the minority candidate. Why JDS should win every time?” he questioned.
Responding to C.M. Ibrahim’s statement that there is a nexus between BSY and Siddaramaiah, the latter said that C.M. Ibrahim is like a captive president in JDS. “The JDS assured him of making him an MLC. Did they do it? They have given a designation just for namesake,” he added.
