Dr Swamy, who played a key role in installing the coalition last year, will meet JD (S) President H D Deve Gowda on Saturday.

“I am having a breakfast meeting with my old friend Deve Gowda at 9 am,”  Swamy told Deccan Herald. 
The Janata Party leader is understood to have got into back room manoeuvres to salvage the situation.

Swamy said, though he was meeting the Janata Dal (Secular) leader to apprise him about the developments on the Ramar Sethu and his “Yatra” in Tamil Nadu, “a frank discussion on the ongoing political crisis in Karnataka” could also take place.

Swamy, known to be close to the top Rashtriya Sayam Sevak (RSS) and Vishwa Hindu Parishad(VHP) leadership, felt  the Karnataka issue could be “re-negotiated”  and “ the situation still be retrieved” so that the Congress could be kept out of the picture.  He, however, clarified that he had not been authorised by the BJP to discuss the issue. Swamy is a member of the RSS sponsored Ram Sethu Raksha Samithi,  the organisation spearheading the agitation against the Sethusamudram shipping canal project. 

The BJP leader said all aspects of the coalition were negotiated when it was put in place 20 months back. He added that a process of re-negotiation could again be initiated.

The interaction  between H D Deve Gowda and Swamy  is expected to precede the former’s meeting with BJP President Rajnath Singh during the day.
