Rahul Gandhi should take more interest in Karnataka. At present the position of Congress is pathetic thanks to the Karnataka Congress leaders. The groups, utterances of the senior leaders like Mr. Jalappa, Mrs Margret Alva and delay in solving the Mr. Siddaramaih fiasco will cost congress dearly. The selection of Lok Sabha candidates is of priority for Congress. It should not eliminate a good candidate just because he is son or brother of a Minister or Member of AICC. The ability of congress in forging alliance at the last moment should not happen this time. Forging alliance with JD S for ensuing Lok Sabha may give the Alliance an edge over B J P.
Congress is predicted to win 22 seats with alliance partner JD S, and with Mr. Siddaramaih in congress else the figure may reverse to the advantage of B J P. The funds flow from Bellary Mine owners will play a major part for winning candidates.
