Bengaluru, Jan 9: Former Chief Minister and Congress Opposition Leader in the Karnataka Assembly Siddaramaiah said the formation of the coalition government with the JD(S) in the State after the 2018 polls was a big loss for the party as it resulted in the loss of its 14 MLAs.
The coalition government with the JD(S) was formed soon after the fractured verdict in 2018 Assembly elections after the intervention of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.
With the initiative of some Central leaders of the Congress, the coalition government was hurriedly formed with JD(S) apparently without the consent of Siddaramaiah.
