BJP trying to malign JDS' image by spreading rumours about joining NDA: HDK News Network January 3, 2021 Bengaluru, Jan 3: Former Karnataka Chief Minister and JDS leader H D Kumaraswamy on Sunday alleged that ruling BJP has indulged in spreading false rumours of JD(S) joining the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). In a series of tweets, he said that BJP was resorting to such tactics after realising that its attempts to finish off the regional party had failed, considering the results of the recently concluded gram panchayat election. "For the same reason, BJP is preparing for a phoney alliance drama. BJP is methodically spreading imaginary reports of JD(S) joining NDA. This is absolutely false," he added.
