Deve Gowda hails Modi, says rivals easing JDS return

Bengaluru, June 15 (UNI) Former Prime Minister and Janata Dal (Secular) patriarch HD Deve Gowda on Sunday said that while gaining power remains his party’s objective, it is the failures of the ruling dispensation that are clearing the path for the JD(S)' political resurgence in Karnataka.
"It is our wish to come to power, and our opponents themselves are paving the way for our return," Gowda remarked, taking an indirect dig at the Congress-led state government at a rally. "We don’t need to analyse or comment much — people can see for themselves how the administration is functioning," he added, in an apparent reference to growing dissatisfaction over governance.
Reflecting on the broader national scenario, Gowda said while the Congress and BJP continue to be regarded as national parties, most others, including his own JD(S), operate as regional forces. "Congress today is in power only in three states. Elsewhere, regional parties are active or the BJP is in command," he said.
