The BJP on Wednesday observed 'Anti-People's Mandate Day' in Karnataka ahead of the formation of the Janata Dal (Secular)-Congress coalition government in the state.
BJP president for Karnataka and former chief minister B. S. Yeddyurappa led the demonstrations in Bengaluru.
Speaking to reporters, Yeddyurappa lambasted the JD(S)-Congress alliance and said hunger, greed and power was the basis of this coalition government.
"Hunger, greed and power is the basis of JD(S)-Congress alliance; such alliance will not even last for three months," he said.
In a statement on Tuesday, the BJP termed the alliance between the Congress and the JD(S) as an 'unholy' one, alleging that they "hijacked the people's mandate."
"The Congress and JD(S) have hijacked the people's mandate and entered into an unholy alliance. On the day, this unholy coalition government takes office, the BJP has decided to observe this day as "Anti People's Mandate Day," the statement read.
