Coalition govt will last 5-year term: Siddaramaiah

Deccan Chronicle  

Mysuru: Dismissing the Bharatiya Janata Party’s claims that the coalition government in the state was tottering and could collapse under its own weight soon, former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah asserted here on Saturday that he had no doubt whatsoever that it would complete its five-year term. Speaking to reporters here, he recalled that the Bharatiya Janata Party had been making such claims for the last six months. None of our party legislators will join the Bharatiya Janata Party,” he declared. Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Minister Dr G Parameshwar, who spoke at an event in Chamarajanagar district where Mr Siddaramaiah laid the foundation stone for the Nalanda Buddha University, being built by the International Buddhist Monks’ Charitable Trust near Yedabetta, intriguingly remarked that it was irrelevant whether Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy remained Chief Minister for five years or not.
