After the HD Kumaraswamy led Congress-JD(S) coalition government in Karnataka lost the trust vote, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said the greed of those who saw the alliance as a threat & an obstacle in their path to power won, whereas democracy, honesty & the people of Karnataka lost.

“From its first day, the Cong-JDS alliance in Karnataka was a target for vested interests, both within & outside, who saw the alliance as a threat & an obstacle in their path to power. Their greed won today. Democracy, honesty & the people of Karnataka lost,” Gandhi tweeted.

Reacting on the same, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said that one day the BJP will discover that everything cannot be bought, everyone cannot be bullied and every lie is eventually exposed.

“One day the BJP will discover that everything cannot be bought, everyone cannot be bullied and every lie is eventually exposed. Until then I suppose, the citizens of our country will have to endure their unbridled corruption, the systematic dismantling of insitutions that protect the people’s interests and the weakening of a democracy that took decades of toil and sacrifice to build,” she tweeted.

The Congress-JD(S) alliance got 99 votes with 105 voting against the government, thereby losing the trust vote.
