The deputy chief minister of Karnataka, G Parameshwara, on Wednesday, stated that BJP has a “bigger plan” behind the move of toppling the coalition government in the state. The party wants to show that any “grand alliance against the center will meet the same fate”.

The coalition government in Karnataka endured its first setback when two of their MLAs withdrew their support to the government, on Tuesday. There was no immediate threat to the government, but this move has started a rife of speculation that many other can join them.

Parameshwara said, “There is a bigger scheme in destabilizing the coalition government in Karnataka because when we took oath, the oath ceremony was attended by most of the non-BJP friends and leaders. That was a kind of mahagathbandhan (grand alliance)”.

He added, “Now if these two parties are not successful, the alliance is not successful in Karnataka, the message would be that yes this (grand) alliance is going to fail. Maybe they (BJP) are trying to do that. This is another thing we have been discussing.”

He also said the BJP has seen an opportunity in the disgruntled MLAs to topple the government.
