Congress to launch 'Bus Yatra'

Gulbarga, Oct 16 (UNI) Congress party in Karnataka will launch 'Bus Yatra' through out the State to explain to the people about deplorable state of politics and reasons behind it, State Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) President Mallikarjun Kharge said today.

Talking to reporters here, he said that the 'Bus Yatra' would touch all Taluk head quarters and explain people about unethical alliance of JD(Secular) and BJP which led to impassionate political situation.

Dismissing JD(S) charge that the Congress party indulging in 'Back door' politics, Mr Kharge alleged that " it was he (Mr H D Kumaraswamy) who did 'Back Door' politics to come to power. Now he was playing the same game to become Chief Minister once again." Ruling out the possibility of Congress joining hands with JD(S) to form the government, Mr Kharge alleged that efforts are on by JD (S) and BJP to join hands once again.

''Instead of joining hands with the JD(S), we feel it better to go to polls'', Mr Kharge opined.

However, Opposition leader in the Legislative Assembly N Dharam Singh said that there were difference of opinion among the Congress Legislatures as one section wanted the party to join hands with JD(S) to form government to avoid mid-term election.

"However, we have to follow the High Command advise. We can not take decision on our own" Mr Dharam Singh said and added that the Congress party is observing the political situation keenly and appropriate decision would be taken at a right time.
