JD(S) supremo H.D. Deve Gowda on Saturday said he is very likely to go to Ayodhya for the Ram temple opening on January 22. Replying to queries during a press conference, he said: “I will go to Ayodhya 99% with my wife.”
Responding to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s statement that he will visit Ayodhya after January 22, Mr. Deve Gowda said: “I welcome his statement. He has ordered special puja and maha mangalarathi in all temples on January 22 to mark the consecration in Ayodhya. This is a good decision.”
Asked if his son H.D. Kumaraswamy will become a Union minister, Mr. Deve Gowda said: “There has been no discussion. I do not know what is in Mr. Modi’s mind. Even his colleagues do not know his action plan.”
