Coalition govt will collapse in few weeks: Gowda

Union Minister for Statistics and Programme Implementation D V Sadananda Gowda, predicted that the JD(S)-Congress coalition government in Karnataka, will collapse in two to four weeks.

Speaking to reporters in Mangaluru on Tuesday, Gowda said: “Siddaramaiah, H D Kumaraswamy and Deve Gowda can never be together. Bowing to pressure from the high command, Siddaramaiah had agreed to the coalition. All attempts are being made to destabilise the government. Siddaramaiah is daydreaming of becoming chief minister again,” he said.

“There is no way in which BJP can support Congress. BJP aims to free India from Congress. Siddaramaiah needs JD(S) to become CM again. That won't happen if the current coalition government falls. Siddaramaiah is poor in calculations," Gowda remarked.
