Cong-JD(S) govt will complete term at any cost: Karnataka Dy CM

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister G Parameshwara today said the Congress-JD(S) coalition government in the southern state will complete its five-year term at any "cost" and "compromise".

"A new government has come. Many people may have anxiety as this is a coalition government -- what will happen, how things will happen.

"I want to give one assurance that at any cost, at any compromise, we will complete five years. There should not be any doubt about it in Bengaluru or elsewhere," he said.

The Congress leader was speaking at an event where the Infosys Foundation, the philanthropic arm of software major Infosys, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) for the construction of a station at Konappana Agrahara in the Electronics City here.

Seated next to Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy, Parameshwara said, "We too have a responsibility and the coalition government was formed for the sake of Karnataka and not for our selfishness.

"We want to give a good administration to Karnataka. We want Karnataka to grow further and become a role model in the country. That was our intention behind forming this coalition government."
