Deve Gowda, the head of the Janata Dal (Secular) and a former prime minister, seems to be undecided about joining the opposition coalition to challenge the BJP in the 2024 elections.
“Show me one party that has not, either directly or indirectly, ties to the BJP. Show me one party in the entire nation, and I’ll respond,” Gowda said in response to a query on Nitish Kumar’s efforts to unite non-BJP parties in Bihar on Tuesday.
During a conference on Tuesday at JP Bhavan in Bengaluru, Deve Gowda remarked, “Show me if there is any party in the nation that is not collaborating with the BJP. I’ll then discuss the opposition parties’ cooperation. All of the parties have partnered with the BJP either directly or indirectly. They also include a few Congress party leaders.”
The JD(S) party, he continued, is unconcerned about the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Elections for the BBMP, Taluk Panchayat, and Zilla Panchayat are now scheduled. How many Lok Sabha constituencies will be contested will be chosen based on the level of popular support the party receives in these elections.
