BJP leader hints at alliance with JD(S)

June 26, 2015 02:41 pm | Updated 02:41 pm IST - Bidar

"BJP will do anything to bring a non Congress Government in the State, including forming alliances with the JD(S)," K.S. Eshwarappa, leader of the opposition in the Legislative Council said in Bidar on Friday.

He is in Bidar to inaugurate the BJP slum morcha executive committee meeting.

"The ruling Congress is getting the jitters just because JD(S) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy and BJP leader B.S. Yeddyurappa met in Hubballi. This shows the insecurity of the Siddharamaiah-led Government and the party," he said. He said the people were disgusted with the Government and wanted it to go.

BJP will start a campaign seeking the removal of Shivaraj Tangadagi from the state cabinet as he has been allegedly supporting rowdy elements who killed Yallalinga, a college student in Koppal district. The Minister who had no time for the victim's family, went to the jail to console the accused.

That is because the accused is the Minister's supporter, Mr Eshwarappa alleged.

He challenged Chief Minister Siddharamaiah to settle all dues of sugarcane growers before attending the Assembly session on July 29. Otherwise, we will stall the proceedings, he said.

The BJP leader accused that children of Congress leaders were involved in illegal sand mining. He also wondered whether the sugar lobby was controlling the State Government.

BJP workers and leaders will stage a state-wide protest against the State Government if it does not issue land ownership rights to slum dwellers in 100 days. We will protest outisde CM's residence in Bengaluru, he said.
