Congress will not join hands with JD(S): Moily

Mangalore, Sep 1 (UNI) Senior Congress leader and former Karnataka Chief Minister M Veerappa Moily today ruled out the possibility of Congress joining hands with the JD(S) to form a coalition government for the second time in the state.

Speaking to reporters here, he said Congress would rather prefer to face an election rather than forming an alternative government by joining hands with JD(S) after October 3, the scheduled date for transfer of power by JD(S) to BJP.

The Congress would not be a party to manipulate political game of former Prime Minister and JD(S) supremo H D Deve Gowda, he added.

He alleged that the JD(S)-BJP coalition government had neither a governance policy nor a governance method.
