Bengaluru, May 1: "I will disown my son Kumaraswamy if he forges any alliance with the BJP in the assembly polls," said JD(S) supremo and former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda here on Monday April 30.
Speaking to reporters, Gowda said that at any cost his party would not go ahead with alliance with the BJP.
Earlier on Sunday, Gowda in an interview with national channel said that if such situation arises, then his entire family will boycott Kumaraswamy. "I will disown him," he said.
He reiterated the same on Monday and asked what was wrong in his statement that he would disown his son if he forges alliance with the BJP. "JD(S) will form government on its own. If there is a fractured mandate, we will sit in the opposition," he added.
He also lashed out at Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for repeatedly alleging that the JD(S) had forged an alliance with the BJP.
"If a lie is repeated 100 times, then people will start believing it to be the truth. This is nothing but dirty politics," he said.
He further said that Siddaramaiah was making such statements since Congress president Rahul Gandhi called JD(S) as BJP's B team during his visit to Hassan.
