To contest in 34 constituencies in the state elections
In Bihar, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Janata Dal (United) joined hands in July last year after Nitish’s return to the NDA fold to form an alliance government in the state, but in Karnataka Assembly elections, JD (U) has decided to fight it alone.
Speaking to Hindusthan Samachar, KC Tyagi, Secretary General of JD (U) said that his party will contest in 34 assembly constituencies of Karnataka without seeking any alliance with any other party.
Putting all the speculations to rest Tyagi said, “JD (U) that took birth in Karnataka has to gain its lost strength again.”
The parent party which was born in 1988 in Karnataka has given four Chief Ministers – Ramkrishna Hegde, HD Deve Gowda, SR Bommai and JH Patel – to the state.
Meanwhile, Janata Dal (United) has issued the list of star campaigners for Karnataka Assembly Election on Wednesday (April 25).
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had visited the state on April 12. He will soon set out for Karnataka for electioneering in favour of his party candidates.
Speaking on the issue of governance, Nitish had said, his government’s focus on higher education and health has paid dividends.
Speaking about the ban on liquor in Bihar, he noted that government has lost 5000 crore rupees Excise duty collection but the poor have gained from it by not wasting money on liquor.
