Speaking to media persons here JD(S) district unit President Deviprasad Shetty said the majority of people in the state desired that Mr Kumaraswamy should continue as the Chief Minister as he had 'won their hearts with his sincerity and simplicity.' "The BJP should also realise this and support Mr Kumaraswamy to continue as the Chief Minister in the best interest of the state," he said.

Meanwhile the CPI also urged the JD(S) not to hand over the Chief Minister's post to BJP as it would lead to communal tension.

CPI State Secretariat member Nityananda Swamy warned the JD(S) that if it handed over the post to the BJP 'the interest of the people of the state will be severely harmed.'
