Congress setting its acts right ahead of by-polls: Dy.CM
D.K. Shivakumar
Mysuru: Stating that the Congress Government has taken the Channapatna Assembly Constituency very seriously, which is going to the by-polls shortly, Deputy Chief Minister (Dy.CM) and KPCC President D.K. Shivakumar said that the party is getting its acts right ahead of the by-polls.
Speaking to press persons at a private hotel here yesterday, Shivakumar said, “The Congress had suffered a setback in the Lok Sabha polls. But now, the party is strengthening its base and I hope that the people will support Congress in the by-polls taking into consideration the works done by the Congress Government.”
Commenting on reports that the BJP-JD(S) combine may field Nikhil Kumaraswamy from Channapatna, he said that the Congress was not bothered about the Opposition candidate. Asserting that the by-polls are not individual-based, he said that the polls will be fought on ideologies of parties.
Referring to speculations on change of leadership in the State, the Dy.CM said that Siddaramaiah would be the Chief Minister for the next 10 years.
