Expressing confidence that thecoalition government in Karnataka would survive its full five year term, Congress state chief Dinesh Gundu Rao Thursday accused some JD(S) leaders of making statements without understanding the situation on the ground.
The Congress was following the "coalition dharma", he said, adding that the party wants to contest the 2019 Lok Sabha polls together with the JD(S).
"Hundred per cent it (the government) will survive, there are no issues," Rao told reporters in response to a question about the government surviving for five years.
On contesting with JD(S) for Lok Sabha polls, he said, "certain things" would have to be discussed at the top leadership level.
"I do not see why there will be a problem. Some of theJD(S) leaders also, I think, have been speaking without reallyunderstanding what really is happening," he said.
JD(S) workers and leaders have been openly expressing their unhappiness against the Congress on a host of issues,including appointment of heads to boards and corporations that are yet to be finalised.
Recently, JD(S) minister H D Revanna had said his brother and chief minister H D Kumaraswamy would "tolerate things as long as he can."
