JD(S) will come to power with BJP alliance in 2028: H.D. Kumaraswamy

He was addressing a meeting of District party leaders and workers at Sa.Ra. Convention Hall at Dattagalli in city yesterday.
Asserting that party organisation is key for ensuring success in any poll, HDK, who is also the former Karnataka Chief Minister, stressed on the need for holding a mass membership drive ahead of the ZP, TP and other local bodies polls. Noting that the JD(S) has the strength to rise like a Phoenix bird, he said that this has been proved on many occasions.
‘Our party is not based on individual leaders. The JD(S) is a party that has been built by workers and farmers. I have not seen such a bad Government than the present Congress Government in Karnataka. The Government seems to be running only on the Five Guarantees and the 15 percent bus fare hike has come as a bolt to the people of the State,’ he said adding that the Congress Government takes pleasure in introducing price hikes on the stroke of midnight.
Arguing that the monthly Rs. 2,000 given to woman heads of families under ‘Gruha Lakshmi’ scheme would not have any meaning if price hikes are done regularly, Kumaraswamy said he would have given Rs. 5,000 had he been the Chief Minister.
Stating that contractors are being driven to suicides because of  harassment by ruling party leaders and officials, HDK wanted to know what answer the Siddaramaiah Government can give to a mercy death  plea made by a contractor to the Chief Minister.
