If Janata Dal (Secular) joins hands with BJP, Congress may lose out even if it emerges as the single largest party.

&lt;p id='p_1'&gt;Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah along with senior Congress leaders on Monday alleged that former CM and Janata Dal Secular (JDS) state president HD Kumaraswamy took a flight to Delhi to meet Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah to finalise an alliance in the state.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id='p_2'&gt;CM Siddaramaiah said, 'Both Amit Shah and Kumaraswamy have travelled by flight. They've met at the Delhi airport. We can release the photos too. We're going to release them at the appropriate time.'&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id='p_3'&gt;However, JDS leader Kumaraswamy denied any such meeting and blamed Congress&amp;nbsp;for misleading people.&lt;/p&gt;
