The BJP's Karnataka unit today accused the HD Kumaraswamy government of tapping phones of politicalleaders across party lines fearing that a few disgruntled MLAs from the ruling Congress-JDS coalition may resign.
The government did not have belief in their own MLAs and alliance partners and was worried that leaders may "betray" them, BJP general secretary C T Ravi told reporters.
"According to my information phone numbers of political leaders and MLAs from both opposition and ruling side are being tapped by this government through its officials and police department," Ravi said responding to a question about reports that some MLAs from the ruling side may resign.
There were reports that some disgruntled MLAs from the Congress party were in touch with BJP, with plans to bring down the government and thereby paving the way for the saffron party to stake claim.
There was no need for BJP to make any attempts to topple the government as preparations are already on within the coalition for it, Ravi said.
"Manycoalition leaders, especially those from the Congress, arefacing existential crisis," he said.
"In the state there is a daily wages government.. ministers in this government are only concernedabout their day-to-day gains," he said and alleged that there was no trust and coordination within the coalition government.
Referring to reports that Kumaraswamy and former chief minister and coordination committee chief Siddaramaiah were allegedly not willing to share the stage at an event yesterday, Ravi said "this shows the level of coordination in this government."
Asked if BJP would play any role if at all the government falls, he said "we shall cross that bridge when we come to it."
