INDIA bloc would soon form Government at the Centre, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah claimed on Wednesday as he predicted that the ruling NDA will not complete its five-year term. He also lashed out at the BJP over the recent statements of its leaders targeting former Congress President Rahul Gandhi.“BJP leaders are issuing threats to Rahul Gandhi as BJP faced a setback in Lok Sabha polls…..We have reached 100 (seats), we will soon form a government, (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi will not complete five years. I don’t believe in predicting the future, but I’m still saying it based on the political developments,” Siddaramaiah said.
“Looking at the political developments taking place in the government (at the Centre) — see with the support of JD(U) and (N) Chandrababu Naidu (of TDP), he (Modi) is surviving (as PM). They may withdraw support any moment, what will happen then?”, he said at a press conference at his home-office ‘Krishna.
Suggesting that his statement is based on “political developments”, Siddaramaiah said: “It may happen or may not happen. According to the information we have, based on the political developments, I don’t feel that this government (at the Centre) will complete its term.”
Responding to claims by BJP that the government headed by him in the state may collapse any time, he said: “We have won 136 seats (in the 224 member assembly). How will it fall? So don’t give importance to such claims about our government’s collapse.”
