Karnataka local body elections: Congress, JD(S) to extend alliance to keep BJP out of power

India TV News  

The ruling Janata Dal Secular and the Congress party in Karnataka would most likely extend their coalition alliance to the urban local bodies across the state to keep the opposition BJP out of power, a JD official said. "In the event of either party not getting majority on its own in the ULB elections, we will have post-poll alliance to rule the local bodies as we did to form the coalition government in the state after the May 12 assembly election threw a hung House with a split verdict," the official told IANS in Bengaluru. According to the State Election Commission, polling was held in 2,662 civic wards spanning 29 city municipalities, 53 town municipalities, 23 town panchayats and 135 wards at Mysuru, Shivamogga and Tumakuru city corporations. "Though we are hoping to secure majority in city, town and panchayat wards in our strongholds, especially in the old Mysuru region, we are ready to take the support of the Congress to run the local bodies with majority," said the official.
