AP CM urges K'taka voters to reject BJP, JD(S)

Raichur, Karnataka, May 12 (UNI) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy today urged the voters of Karnataka to reject both JD(S) and the BJP in the ongoing Assembly elections for their failure in providing a stable government.

Addressing an election meeting in Raichur, bordering Andhra, he said the coalition forged by the two parties was a failure.

He alleged that the coalition had betrayed the farmers in the state and the Hyderabad-Karnataka region witnessed the highest number of farmers suicides.

''If the Congress is voted back to power, it will provide a stable government,'' he said.

Mr Reddy was campaigning in the border areas where large number of Telugu speaking people were residing.
