Hubli (Ktk), Sept 09: JD-S chief H D Deve Gowda today said discussions with BJP leaders are "inevitable" on the transfer of power to that party in Karnataka on October 03.
He told a press conference here <b>that he would meet BJP leaders in Delhi to discuss the transfer of power. </b>
Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy had said he would hold discussions with senior JD-S leaders before transferring power to BJP's B S Yediyurappa, who is now Deputy Chief Minister.
<b>Gowda said when the JD-S aligned with the BJP to form a coalition government in Karnataka, the state unit of the BJP had consulted its national leaders on forming the alliance.
"Similarly, Kumaraswamy will have to consult the JD-S on the transfer of power," he said. </b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Deve Gowda's flip-flop is interesting. I think he is still banking on rural caste voters.
