Coalition government coordination committee chairman Siddaramaiah charged that BJP leaders want to be in power in a wrong way, as they do not want to work as Opposition.
"This government is strong and stable, and BJP leader Umesh Katti's prediction on the fall of government is an illusion. Dissidence over cabinet expansion and difference over portfolio allocation are all false," he said.
"Ramesh Jarkiholi might be bit hurt for not continuing in the Cabinet. I could not contact him, but I am sure that he would work for the party, as he is a Congressman," Siddaramaiah noted.
He also said that Discussion with the JD(S) regarding seat sharing in Lok Sabha elections has not yet begun.
