Bengaluru, Apr 25: “Though JD(S) supremo H D Deve Gowda is my good friend, my supporters  in poll-bound Karnataka should vote for Congress candidates to defeat communal BJP,” said ousted JD(U) leader Sharad Yadav.

Yadav, who is planning to launch his own party next month, will also campaign in the state if there is an invite from the Siddaramaiah-led Congress in the state. His supporters in the state will campaign for Congress candidates.

Asked why he is not supporting his friend in erstwhile Janata Dal, he said he remain friends with its chief H D Deve Gowda. "I feel Congress is in a position to defeat the BJP. We have to see who can strongly take on the BJP. That's why we are supporting them. Deve Gowda is an old friend," he said.

About predictions that there will be a hung assembly, he expressed confidence that Congress will get majority. "Siddaramaiah knows social engineering and he is a master in it. Yeddyurappa is an average leader," he added.

"Karnataka election is an important political event before the Lok Sabha polls. My assessment is that Congress party will have an edge over the BJP and other parties contesting elections. Congress is giving a good fight," he said.

He said there was a demand from his supporters to contest the elections in some seats in alliance with the Congress. "However, Congress could not accommodate our candidates. They have given a seat to one our supporters. We have now decided that in order to defeat the BJP, we should not compel the Congress for seats," he said.

Bengaluru, May 4: Former Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy on Sunday said that the health of the migrants who have been allowed to move, should not be jeopardized and appropriate tests must be conducted.

"The task was to send the workers to their places. However, their health should not be jeopardized. This decision made for their benefit should not be a travesty for them. There will also be physical interference on the buses and appropriate tests must be done," said Kumaraswamy.

"The lockdown, which was implemented without any prerequisites, is now loosened without warning. The state government, which has allowed migrant workers to move to the city, has mobilized large numbers of people. By this, the government is playing with their health," he added.

He continued saying that the government should not lose out on an unscientific move that resulted in the loss of thousands of crores of rupees from a custodial lockdown.

"Workers and villages must be sober. The government must take all necessary precautions in this regard," he added.
