The Story in Brief
BJP and JD(S) leaders met on Saturday in Bengaluru and decided to jointly oppose the Congress government in Karnataka during the upcoming legislature session. Leader of Opposition R Ashoka said the two parties will raise the Bidadi township land acquisition issue and alleged irregularities in the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC).
A state-level coordination committee with five members from each party, including Union ministers, will be formed within two to three days. The parties also plan a joint protest at Freedom Park while the Assembly is in session. JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy was part of the meeting.

The BJP-JD(S) alliance in Karnataka is being painted as a formidable opposition, but such pre-session pacts often fizzle out. Both parties have a history of competing in the same constituencies, and their voters remain divided. The real test will be whether they coordinate on the Bidadi land acquisition issue during the Assembly session, or old rivalries resurface.
