Jds Alliance With Congress

The alliance with the JD(S) is facing turbulence, and the Congress government's implementation of its promised guarantees is threatening to sway voters towards the grand old party in general elections

With the JD(U)s re-entry, the NDA's seat tally is back to around 350 seats, close to the 2019 tally of 353. The ruling alliance now needs just 50 more seats to cross the magical mark of 400.

Amid reports of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his party Janata Dal (United) joining hands with the BJP, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge said that he has "no information on JD(U) leaving the alliance".

As Nitish Kumar dumped his ally BJP to form a new government with Mahagathbandhan including RJD in Bihar, former Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Wednesday questioned the change of stance by the JD(U) leader.

Nitish Kumar will take oath as Chief Minister of Bihar today at 2 pm, after he ditched the BJP on Tuesday and announced a new "Grand Alliance" which includes Tejashwi Yadav and other Opposition parties.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today resigned as the chief minister, hours after ending his alliance with BJP in the state.

A collaboration between the ruling BJP and the opposition Janata Dal Secular in Karnataka for an election has raised speculation about the two parties warming up for an alliance.

JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy on Thursday made a sharp attack on erstwhile ally Congress, saying it was not a party worthy of an alliance and it does not honour coalition dharma.

Sending mixed signals, JD(S) patriarch H D Deve Gowda on Monday said he will work for strengthening his party, keeping both the BJP and Congress at a distance, days after hinting at a possible post-bypoll alliance in Karnataka with the Sonia Gandhi-led party.

Sounding upbeat after forming a coalition government in Maharashtra, the Congress in Karnataka on Sunday made it clear that it was not averse to joining hands with JD(S) once again in case the ruling BJP fails to garner required number of seats to be in the majority after December 5 bypolls.

At times when Congress and NCP are working on an alliance with Shiv Sena over government formation in Maharashtra, JD (S) leader and former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that it would be much easier for the Congress to enter into an alliance with BJP rather than going with Shiv-Sena as the former has "soft-Hindutva" face while Shiv S...

Janata Dal (Secular) president HD Deve Gowda has dismissed any possibility of having an electoral tie-up with either the Congress or the BJP for December 5 bypolls in Karnataka, describing both the national parties as "not trustworthy" and having the "same character".

After engaging in a blame game over the collapse of their coalition government, JD(S) patriarch HD Deve Gowda on Thursday indicated his party is still open for continuing its alliance with the Congress.

A day after the coalition government headed by him collapsed, outgoing Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy on Wednesday remained non-committal on the future of his party Janata Dal Secular's (JDS) alliance with the Congress, saying both parties have not yet discussed it.

Senior Congress leader M Veerappa Moily on Saturday said the party would have won 15 to 16 seats in the Lok Sabha polls had there been no tie up with JD(S) and that trusting the alliance was a ''mistake."
