BJP National General Secretary in charge of Karnataka Arun Singh described the Janata Dal (Secular) as a ‘sinking party’ while ruling out an alliance with any political entity in the State. Mr. Singh arrived in Mysuru on August 30 night ahead of meetings with elected representatives and office-bearers of Mysuru and Chamarajanagar districts. After visiting Chamundeshwari temple atop Chamundi Hills on August 31, he told mediapersons, “JD(S) is sinking, and BJP is growing.” He was responding to speculation over a possible understanding between the two parties in local body polls. Pointing out that JD(S) had governed the State along with Congress before the BJP came to power, he said, “We are far ahead.”
