Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister G Parameshwara today said that differences between the ruling coalition partners, if any, would be discussed and resolved at a Congress-JD(S) coordination committee meeting, which is likely to be held here on July 1.

On the raging controversy over former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's remarks doubting the longevity of the coalition government, Parameshwara, who is also the Pradesh Congress chief said, the issue was left to the party high command.

"There is a possibility that the coordination committee will be meeting on July 1, and anything related to the differences between the two parties' leadership will be discussed, and we will resolve all those issues to strengthen the present coalition government," he told reporters here.

Stating that no discussion took place regarding any statements by anybody including "our leader" Siddaramaiah at his meeting today with Congress ministers, he said, "All that is left to the party high command..."
Parameshwara also accused the BJP of attempting to destabilise the coalition government and said, "It is not going to be possible."
He said, "Whatever little murmurs (are there in the coalition), the BJP is trying to magnify it and trying to destabilise our coalition. I can tell them, it is not going to be possible for them. We are very strong in our coalition. Initial little hiccups will be there... we will resolve them."
