Kumaraswamy admits that Yediyurappa had called him over the phone to seek his party’s support in some constituencies
As the day of polling for the elections to the Legislative Council from 20 constituencies comes closer, a pact between the Janata Dal (Secular) and the BJP still seems to be intriguing even though leaders of the regional party are indicating an understanding between the two parties.
On Sunday, JD(S) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy ruled out the possibility of the party extending support to the Congress in the elections, but admitted to BJP leader B.S. Yediyurappa contacting him for the party’s support.
Fielding reporters’ queries in Mysuru on Sunday, Mr. Kumaraswamy said the Congress had not approached the JD(S) seeking its support. “There have been no requests from the Congress for support either from the local level or the State level. Also, the party’s State leadership has not treated us respectably,” the JD(S) leader said.
