PuducherryChief Minister V Narayanasamy today said the 'game plan' and 'machinations' of the BJP in Karnataka had been nullified by the MLAs belonging to the Congress and Janata Dal (Secular) through their firm and strong unity in the state.

Talking to reporters here, Narayanasamy said the BJP could not succeed in its strategies in Karnataka as the legislators of the Congress and JD (S) were too firm to be lured by any means and defeated the attempts of the BJP to encourage defection.

He said, "the BJP's dream of purchasing legislators through money power and authority to beef up its strength on the floor of the House had also been smashed."
