JD(S) willing to have alliance with NDA for local polls: H D Deve Gowda

Bengaluru:  JD(S) supremo H D Deve Gowda on Wednesday said that his party is willing to continue alliance with NDA for local bodies, Zilla Panchayat and Taluk Panchayat elections.

Speaking to reporters, the former prime minister stated that the regional party is waiting for the decision by the BJP regarding alliance for local body elections.

“BJP is a national party and we are a regional outfit. We have to wait for BJP’s pre-poll alliance decision and Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy will discuss this with the BJP leadership,” he said.

Refusing to react to the statement by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah calling JD(S) a family party, Deve Gowda said, “I will react when the time comes and my memory is good and I remember everything.”
