Janata Dal Secular  

Janata Dal Secular, JD(S) continues to express an interest in alliance with the Congress, despite engaging in mudslinging during their term. Deve Gowda hinted he was open for an alliance with the Congress in 17 assembly constituencies.
 

The Congress-Janata Dal (Secular) coalition faces the threat of losing its majority in the Assembly if the resignations are accepted as its current tally is 116 in the 224 member House.

Karnataka crisis has forced the Rajya Sabha to be adjourned by an hour. This after uproar by the Congress over the threat that situation poses to the coalition government in the state. 

 

Janata Dal-Secular leader Danish Ali on Saturday joined the Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Party, ahead of the coming Lok Sabha elections and is likely to contest from Uttar Pradesh's Amroha.

Even though Congress has left the Mandya seat for the Janata Dal (Secular), Congress workers there are not ready to support the JD(S). Instead, they are favouring Ambareesh's wife Sumalatha's candidature.

Kumaraswamy hailed the people for their support to the coalition government of the Janata Dal (Secular) and the Congress and said the two parties would contest the 2019 polls together in all the 28 constituencies in the state.
