TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Hours after the fall of the Congress-Janata Dal Secular government in Karnataka, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said the greed of those who saw the alliance as an obstacle in their path to power won, while democracy and the state’s people lost.
The Congress-JD-S government in Karnataka collapsed after the confidence motion moved by chief minister H D Kumaraswamy was defeated in the assembly, ending his 14-month long turbulent tenure. “From its first day, the Cong-JDS alliance in Karnataka was a target for vested interests, both within & outside, who saw the alliance as a threat & an obstacle in their path to power.
Their greed won today,” Gandhi tweeted.”Democracy, honesty and the people of Karnataka lost,” he said. Reacting to the development, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said one day the BJP will discover that everything cannot be bought, everyone cannot be bullied and every lie is eventually exposed.
