: Congress Tuesday came down heavily on the BJP, accusing the saffron party of engaging in "horse trading" to pull down the Congress-JD(S) coalition government in Karnataka, but said nothing would happen to it.
AICC General Secretary Karnataka in-charge, K C Venugopal alleged that the BJP had been making attempts to destabilise the secular government headed by H D Kumaraswamy ever since it came to power in the state seven months ago after the Assembly polls.
"Our government will continue at any cost. It will complete five years. Nothing will happen. Our MLAs are strong and united," Venugopal said after holding a meeting with Kumaraswamy in Bengaluru.
"This will be a big slap on the face of the BJP," Venugopal said.
Asked whether relations between the Congress and JD(S) are strained, the Congress leader said: "We are very much united."
