"I was very sure about my numbers in the assembly election, now I'm saying, we'll win many more seats in the Lok Sabha and BBMP election," Shivakumar said. Talking about the possible alliance of the BJP and the Janata Dal-Secular (JDS), Shivakumar said the BJP is in poor shape in the state and is joining hands with those who betrayed them. They betrayed each other. They are doing compromise politics, Shivakumar said.
