'JD(S) will continue to be strong pillar of Third Front'
With his son H D Kumaraswamy's meeting with Sonia Gandhi fuelling reports of cracks in the Third Front, JD(S) chief H D Deve Gowda on wednesday said his party will continue to be a "strong pillar" of the grouping.
"There are absolutely no differences within the party on this issue," he told a press conference here dismissing his son's meeting with Ms. Gandhi as something to do with Karnataka politics.
"He (Kumaraswamy) is a former chief minister and a responsible leader and has categorically asserted our party's commitment to the Third Alternative," Mr. Gowda said.
He said even as speculation was rife over post-poll alliances, permutations and combinations it was his firm belief that the Third Alternative would play a very crucial role in government formation at the Centre.
"We (Third Front) remain united, we will only emerge stronger in the days to come and our effort would be to install a secular pro-people alternative government in Delhi," he said.
Mr. Gowda said his son had to meet Ms. Gandhi to discuss the political situation in Karnataka and added "the political situation in the state is so mess. The BJP government is troubling Kumaraswamy and JDS".
