Talking about the possible alliance of the BJP and the Janata Dal-Secular (JDS), Shivakumar said the BJP is in poor shape in the state and is joining hands “with those who betrayed them”.
“They betrayed each other. They are doing compromise politics,” Shivakumar said.
Janata Dal-Secular leader HD Kumaraswamy had said earlier that there have been alliance talks between his party and BJP but there has been no talk on seat-sharing.
He had termed as “personal reaction” remarks of BS Yediyurappa about Janata Dal (Secular) fighting about four seats in the Lok Sabha elections next year in alliance with BJP.
