Bengaluru, Dec 4: The coordination committee meeting of Congress-JD(S) coalition government in Karnataka will be held tomorrow (December 5) under the chairmanship of former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

The meeting assumes significance amidst fresh attempts of Operation Kamala by Bharatiya Janata Party. However, the main agenda is expected to be the discussion on long pending cabinet expansion. Congress has 6 Ministers post to be filled as per understanding and JD(S) has to fill one post.

Among other issues which are likely to be raised in the meeting include complaints by Congress legislators regarding decreased outlay for their constituency by Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy who also holds finance portfolio.

The issue on continuation of Congress-JDS coordination for the Lok Sabha 2019 election is also likely to come up during the meeting.

Meanwhile, Siddaramaiah has accused the BJP of destabilising the government. “We have information that MLAs are offered Rs 25 crore to join the BJP. Where does the money come for peration Kamala (Lotus)? Whose money is it?” he asked while speaking to reporters.

“The BJP had made a futile attempt to come to power in the past. One needs to accept the fact that they do not have the majority. They should be ashamed to say that they will destabilise the government. They (BJP) will not be successful in destabilising the coalition government in the state,” he said.
