Chennai, 10 October 2010: Determined to bring down the BJP government in Karnataka, JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy today said his party and Congress would work together to see its fall during the crucial trust vote tomorrow.

 

"Both JD(S) and Congress are in the opposition. We are together going to defeat BJP," Kumaraswamy, who is here to hold parleys with dissident BJP MLAs, said. Addressing a press conference at a hotel here along with the dissidents, the former Chief Minister alleged that the ruling BJP was misusing government machinery as well as the Speaker’s chair to win the trial of strength on the floor of the Assembly tomorrow.

 

He said the Speaker had warned of disqualifying independent MLAs, which he said was "a first of its kind in India." "Our first priority is to remove this bad government and we (opposition) are going to unitedly do that...we are confident that we will defeat the confidence vote," he said.

 

Responding to reporters’ queries on forming government in the event of BJP losing the vote tomorrow, he said that was not the issue now. "The future course of action in this regard will be charted out later," he said.
