Union Minister D V Sadananda Gowda on Saturday claimed that the Congress and JD(S) were facing an existential crisis and trying to come together against the BJP ahead of the December 5 bypolls in Karnataka.
Speaking to reporters here, he said Siddaramaiah and H D Kumaraswamy were taking a final leap towards destroying their parties, the Congress and JD (S).
Expressing confidence about the BJP winning all the 15 assembly segments going to the bypolls, the former chief minister requested the election commission to declare K R Pete and Hoskote assembly constituencies as "sensitive."
The former chief minister said "on one side Siddaramaiah and on the other Kumaraswamy, both of them were successfully taking a final leap towards destroying their own parties, I wish them success."
Gowda pointed out that in Maharashtra, NCP legislators have come forward to join hands with the BJP for "good administration."
