Bengaluru, Apr 6: In an apparent U-turn, former chief minister and JD(S) State president H D Kumaraswamy has said that his party may join hands with the party to from a coalition government in Karnataka in case of a fractured mandate. 

It’s worth mentioning here that Kumaraswamy had recently stated that JD(S) would not join hands with any party in case of a fractured mandate in Karnataka. He had also said that his party would demand for a by-election if no party gets clear majority. 

However, speaking at a JD(S) Vikasa Parva rally at the Subhash Chandra Bose grounds in Chikkamagalur on Sunday, he said if a coalition government becomes inevitable due to a fractured verdict in the May 12 elections, his party would join hands with the party that would agree to implement JD(S)’ programs.

Kumaraswamy said that television surveys had indicated that the party would clinch 40 seats. "Without us no one can form a government," he claimed. 

"I have no ambitions of becoming chief minister. I am a former CM. Even if we get 40 seats as predicted, I will not go to anybody's door asking for chief ministership. If there is a coalition government, then the party we support must back our development programs," he averred.

Kumaraswamy said that he was confident that the people of the state would back JD(S) and the party would win over 113 seats. He also said after touring northern Karnataka he was confident that JD(S) would win seven seats in Vijayapura, seven in Bidar, six in Raichur.

Bengaluru, Mar 6: Karnataka home minister Basavaraj Bommai on Friday said he has asked police to enhance the security of Congress leaders and former ministers UT Khader and Tanveer Sait.

"Threat perception has been there for some time now, all the more after the attack on Tanveer Sait. Their (Congress MLAs UT Khader and Tanveer Sait) security is necessary. I have intimidated them. I have asked police to enhance their security," Bommai told media persons.

"After the assault on Tanveer Sait, the police told me that there were some intelligence reports and asked to me to take proper security. They have given one police man for the name's sake," Khader said.
