BJP has no moral right to preach on to us on government formation as they did the same in other parts of the country: HD Kumaraswamy

“I have been offered from both sides. I am not saying this loosely. There's a black spot on my father's career because of my decision to go with the BJP in 2004 & 2005. So God has given me opportunity to remove this black spot. So I am going with Congress”,  HD Kuamaraswamy, JD(S) asserted on the collision of BJP in 2004-2005.

He further said that there is no Modi wave in Karnataka and BJP has not earned the seats they won adding Narendra Modi had nothing to do with the BJP verdict; there was a deep divide within the electorate itself.
