 The Hindu : Karnataka News : Janata Dal (Secular) slams BJP's claims
The Janata Dal (Secular) has said that the claims made by the Bharatiya Janata Party that it is the only viable alternative to the Congress in the State is false, going by the performance of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) Government at the Centre.
The Janata Dal (S) spokesmen, M.V. Sriganesh and T. Prabhakar, told presspersons here today that if the Congress Government in the State was anti-farmer, anti-poor, and pro-urban, and if its rule was marked by maladministration, as alleged by the BJP, the performance of the BJP-led NDA Government at the Centre was no better.
It was only the Janata Dal (S) which could lay claim to form the next government in the State, particularly after the good showing of the party governments between 1983 and 1989, and between 1994 and 1999,a according to the spokesmen.

The JD(S), which was formed when a section of legislators of the Janata Dal (United) left to join the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance at the Centre in 1998, though under pressure, is far from finished.
According to political pundits, although Deve Gowda did nurse personal ambitions to return to the national political stage and hope to leverage the party's presence in the coalition government in the State to achieve this, the JD(S) was never meant to be a national party.

The seat was won for the BJP in the General Election by Ramchandra Veerappa, polling 312,838 votes to the 289,217 won by Narsingrao Hulla Suryawanshi of the Congress.
And the subsequent decision of the Congress and Deve Gowda's Janata Dal (Secular) to form a coalition government in Bangalore underlines the force of that logic.
Both Narsing Halla Suryawanshi and Babu Honna Naik are handicapped by the knowledge that the ruling ministry in Karnataka is a coalition between the Janata Dal (Secular) and the Congress.

But with 29 short of majority, the NDA must wait to see what the Congress and the Janata Dal(S) manage to do with their numbers, before it can make a move.
The Janata Dal(S), which has the lowest number of seats but has emerged in the most advantageous position in the three-cornered contest, has its own terms to implement.
