Tie-up Sonia Gandhi's idea, not ours: Deve Gowda
JD(S) patriarch HD Deve Gowda on Thursday said that the Karnataka coalition was the idea of UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, not his party's. Reacting to views expressed by some Congress leaders that the alliance was hurting both the parties, he said, "I told them we didn't want this (coalition government)".
