“If I had the financial stability like the national parties including the BJP and the Congress, I would have ensured the JD(S) victory in 170-180 seats. I may not be able to win most seats because of my party’s financial condition but my party’s seats will be more than the BJP and the Congress,” said former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy.
Rubbishing the survey reports that indicated fewer seats to his party, Mr. Kumaraswamy told reporters in Chamarajanagar on Saturday that the surveys were “unjustified” and allegedly favoured the national parties. “The surveys will be proved wrong,” he argued.
“If my rival parties are happy that we are winning 30 seats as per the surveys, let them celebrate. I will prove all predictions wrong,” he said.
