Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister G Parameshwara Thursday asserted that the Congress-JDS coalition government would not collapse even as state BJP chief B S Yeddyurappa claimed hisparty's tally would increase in the assembly after by-polls and Lok Sabha election results.

"Kumaraswamy is the Chief Minister, on his behalf as Deputy Chief Minister in this government I'm making this statement that the government will not collapse for any reason" Parameshwara said.

Speaking to reports in Kalaburagi, he said, "Not on May 23, 24 or 25.... we will run the government for remaining four years.

As promised to the people of the state while taking oath, we will give a good and pro people government in the state."
Also, claiming the support of three independent and small party MLAs, which will take the BJP's tally to 109, he said, "any kind of political alterations may happen after that. So we have asked for cooperation and I'm confident that peoplewill definitely support us."
