Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy today ruled out any threat to his eight-month old government, dismissing speculations that disgruntled Congress MLAs could pose trouble in the coming budget session of the assembly by staying away from it.

The chief minister also said he was in regular touch
with the Congress MLAs and asserted that the JDS-Congress
ministry would not only survive before but also post the Lok
Sabha elections and complete its full five-year term.

His remarks come amid reports that disgruntled Congress
lawmakers on the BJP\'s radar for poaching as part of its bid
to topple the ruling coalition might keep away from the
session beginning February 6.
   
\"I have no problem. I am relaxed. Some sections of media are projecting instability, saying disgruntled legislators will not attend the session... They (Cong MLAs) are in regular touch with me. I don\'t know whether they are in touch with the Congress. I spoke to them today also. They will come to the session... no problem,\" Kumaraswamy said.
 
Speaking to the media here, the JDS leader also said that he would do \"whatever needs to be done\" to ensure that the government completed its full term.
