Hubballi: Union Minister Pralhad Joshi expressed that he was previously unaware of the BJP-JD(S) alliance for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections but has now become informed through the media.
They spoke with journalists in the city, and I do not know what Yediyurappa had said; if they have spoken, they may have more details. After speaking with Yediyurappa, I will provide clarification on this matter. I am also not aware of any discussions between Amit Shah and Devegowda.
Responding to the demand for five seats from the JDS, they stated that they are not aware of any discussions happening at the High Command level regarding this matter. They mentioned that they are unable to provide answers based on media questions. They added that they will respond officially once they are informed about it.
