H D Deve Gowda's Interview - Why he Refused to Support BJP!

A couple of days before, JD (S) Leader, Deve Gowda refused to support BJP led Government and he clarified these are the reason's to betray the promise! now it is the duty of the JD(S) leader to clarify his stand! All politicians compromised just for the sake of their selfish politics?

Text from Interview to Frontline - http://www.frontlineonnet.com/stories/20071102502203600.htm

Yashwant Sinha came to Bangalore and wanted a one-on-one discussion with me. Our meeting went on till 1-30 a.m. I posed several questions to him. First, why did not the national leadership of the BJP take a position against the BMIC?
Two, why did not the national leadership condemn the killing of two Muslims in Mangalore during the riots? Three, when a charge of bribery of Rs.150 crore was made against the Chief Minister, and a BJP MLA filed a [public interest litigation] PIL in the Supreme Court, why did the national leadership keep quiet? When Karunanidhi’s daughter’s house was attacked and two innocents burnt alive, what did the national leaders have to say? When the Chief Minister himself was accused by a fellow minister of abetment in a murder case, why did not the national leadership or Yediyurappa dismiss him? No answer.
Without convincing answers for these issues, power cannot be transferred, I said. In Kashmir, power transfer took three months. The issue cannot be forced through the media. It has to be thrashed out in the presence of Central and State leaders.
Sinha finally asked me if I would join the NDA and support L.K. Advani’s candidature for Prime Minister. I told him I would neither join the NDA nor the UPA.
I promised to go on October 4 to Delhi to thrash the issue out. But Sinha stayed here for three days. On October 2, all the Ministers sent their resignations to the Chief Minister, and dictated that he should hand in his resignation by six in the evening.
The action taken by Kumaraswamy will be judged by the people in the elections. The question now of compromising on secularism is ruled out in my life.
