JD(S) supremo and former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda Monday dismissed any threat to the ruling coalition headed by his son H D Kumaraswamy after the recent cabinet rejig.
The government was stable and the alliance will efficiently fight the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, he told reporters.
"Nothing will happen...why do you have doubts? It is all your (media) creation," Gowda said in response to a question about troubles for the coalition government after the ministry expansion and reshuffle on Saturday.
Pointing out that there are senior leaders and high command in the Congress to resolve all issues, he said "don't worry, the coalition government will work efficiently."
Asked when JD(S) will fill vacant slots under its quota, the party patriarch said "JD(S) is a small party and whatever we get, it is great for us, we don't have any dispute."
