The JDS supremo’s confirmation comes days after BJP veteran and former Karnataka chief minister BS Yediyurappa on September 8 claimed that Union Home Minister Amit Shah has agreed to give four Lok Sabha seats to the JDS as part of the poll understanding between the two parties.
Janata Dal (Secular) leader HD Kumaraswamy has denied that his party has allied with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha election.
Maintaining that the seat sharing and other things are yet to be discussed, the former chief minister said more than give and take, trust and respect is important for him.
"I had called JD(S) as BJP's b-team, it is getting proved now. JD(S) people used to get angry at me, when I called them b-team. Also they have named themselves as Secular- Janata Dal (Secular)- but have joined hands with communal party," Siddaramaiah said.
Earlier, former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda had said that the JDS would fight the Lok Sabha elections independently in 2024.
