The Congress-JD(S) tie-up in Karnataka to form government is an alliance of "selfishness" that will not last long, senior BJP leader Om Prakash Mathur said today.
The Congress and the JD(S) used "low-level" tricks and divided people on caste lines in the Karnataka polls, but it failed to prevent the BJP from emerging as the largest party in the state, said Mathur, a BJP national vice-president.
"The the alliance to form government in Karnataka is an alliance of selfishness, which can not last long," he said here.
Mathur said that the BJP could not prove majority in Karnataka, but the people's mandate was with his party.
The Congress is scared of the BJP's strength, and therefore, they are forming alliances, he said. PTI SDA.
