Cong may once again have tie up with JD-S: Parameshwara

Senior Congress leader G Parameshwara on Friday hinted at the possibility of his party once again having an alliance with JD(S) if the ruling BJP failed to garner the required number of seats in the December 5 bypolls to remain in a majority.

His remark comes days after the regional party patriarch H D Deve Gowda's cryptic remark in this regard sparked speculation.

"After the bypolls, as we feel- if people dont elect the disqualified legislators, naturally BJP will lose majority and the government will fall.

In such a situation both our parties (Congress and JDS) can form a government or President's Rule may be imposed and then mid-term polls may be announced, Parameshwara told reporters in Tumakuru.

To a question on Deve Gowda's comments, he said there may be a possibility of Congress and JD(S) forming the government once again. "This is what we have to understand from his statement."
