Mr Mahadev said the Janatadal(S) which claimed to be secular had joined hands with the communal BJP only to remain in power and betrayed the people of the state who had elected them.
CPM Nagaraj said his party had always been against the communal parties and it was unfortunate that the so called secular party Janata Dal(S) joined the government to share the power and not on their policies and programmes.
KRRS Puttaniah described by elections are held on a revange politics by the Janata Dal(S) against one individual and entire government involved for a one single byelections and neglected the development works and not able to hear the farmers voices and their problems. Mr Patil alleged that Janatadal(S) was trying to influence the voters on caste basis.
