Congress favours for midterm poll in the state: Dharam

Gulbarga, Aug 24 (UNI) Predicting that the Janata Dal (Secular) will not transfer power to its alliance partner Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) the opposition leader in the Karnataka Assembly Mr Dharam Singh opined that the BJP is day-dreaming on the issue.

Speaking to newsmen here today Mr Singh said that the JD(S) leaders have started repeating for joining hands with the communal BJP as they found minorities distanced themselves from the party and will not back in any future elections. "In this situation if JD(S) chose to transfer power to BJP in October it would prove disaster fpr it in the next assembly elections" he said.

Sharply reacting to the statement of BJP leader Sushma Swaraj that B S Yediyurappa will take over as the next Chief Minister of the state the senior Congress leader rediculed that "Sushma Swaraj must have been day-dreaming on BJP assuming power in October".

Replying to question on the possibility of Congress forming government in the state taking support of JD(S) Mr Singh quipped that it would depend on the decision of the Party High Command.
