Parties likely to enter into an informal agreement to counter BJP
With the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) election scheduled to be held on March 28, the Congress and JD (S) are assumed to be getting closer.
According to sources the parties may not go for an electoral alliance but can get into an official agreement to check the growth of BJP in the state.
Old strategy
A source said, "During the Govindaraj Nagar by-election last year, JD (S) didn't field its candidate to help Congress's Priya Krishna post a win over BJP's V Somanna. A similar formula may be put to use during the forthcoming BBMP elections."
