Mangaluru: JD(S) supremo HD Devegowda exuded confidence in his party getting a majority with Kumaraswamy at the helm.

Speaking to reporters at Surathkal, Devegowda praised Kumaraswamy's work as Chief Minister and stated that the people had taken notice and would support the party in the upcoming election.

Devegowda highlighted Kumaraswamy's impressive accomplishments and gave an example of waiving a large extent of farm loans, which set him apart as the only Chief Minister in the country to do so.

According to Devegowda, Kumaraswamy's actions speak louder than words, demonstrating how promises can be effectively implemented and there is no need for any guarantee card.

Gowda also discussed the events following the last election, saying that the coalition government was established at the Congress party's behest.

He outlined his party's accomplishments, including providing a 4% reservation to the Muslims and Valmiki community, as well as hoisting the national flag at Hubballi Idgah Maidan during his tenure as Prime Minister.

Devegowda demanded Prime Minister Narendra Modi display his concern for the employment of women by passing the Women's Reservation Bill in the Lok Sabha.

When asked about the allegations made by Congress leaders that JD(S) was the B team of BJP and BJP leaders' allegation that JD(S) was the B team of Congress, Devegowda preferred to remain silent and said, "There is freedom of speech. People will decide."
