Shivamogga, Oct 16: The upcoming by-polls of three Lok Sabha seats and two Assembly seats, will decide the fate of JD(S)-Congress alliance, said Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy.
Addressing reporters at Shivamogga on Tuesday, October 16, Kumaraswamy expressed confidence on Congress-JD(S) nominee Madhu Bangarappa being elected as MP, and also said that the candidate is like a brother to him.
“By-polls strengthens alliance and is not an electoral battle between two individuals,” he added.
When questioned on BJP using the Hindutva agenda to fight elections, Kumaraswamy said that the present government has done more to safeguard the interests of Hindus. Also, BJP is not the sole owner of Hindutva. We too are Hindus, he asserted.
