Daijiworld Media Network - Mangaluru (SP)

Mangaluru, Aug 29: "Siddaramaiah had given his nod for forming coalition with JD(S) with the tacit plan to engineer the downfall of the government eventually," said union minister, D V Sadananda Gowda. He asserted that Siddaramaiah's goal is to topple the government led by H D Kumaraswamy.

Gowda was responding to the media queries during his visit to Dakshina Kannada district to take part in private programme. "The coalition government came into being with malicious intention. The only goal before the people involved was to keep BJP away from power. They have not taken over power to serve the people. The selfish politicians of JD(S) and Congress are not bothered about the interests of Karnataka," he felt.

He pointed out that Siddaramaiah had deserted JD(S) and joined Congress, having been fed up by the functioning style of JD(S) leaders. Siddaramaiah can never join hands with H D Deve Gowda and Kumaraswamy, he commented.

He also predicted the downfall of the state government within a month.
