Bangalore, 4/7: BJP veteran B S Yediyurappa said on Tuesday that the BJP and JD(S) would fight the Congress government together.
Yediyurappa’s statement assumes significance amid speculation that the BJP and JD(S) could enter into an alliance for the Lok Sabha polls next year.
Endorsing former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy’s allegations of corruption against the Congress government, Yediyurappa told reporters that whatever the JD(S) leader is saying is “absolutely” true. “I want to support his statement. Kumaraswamy and we will fight together in the future,” Yediyurappa said, adding that the support of the JD(S) would be sought in the BJP’s fight against Congress.
Yediyurappa hailed Kumaraswamy as “a responsible politician” and that his allegations are correct.
