BJP names Shettar for K'taka CM, Cong keeps mum

April 08, 2013 16:25

With BJP needling it on the issue of naming Chief Ministerial candidate, Congress today said it was its strategy not to declare its choice for the post in the run-up to the May five in Karnataka Assembly polls in which it hopes to come back to power.

"We haven't declared our chief ministerial candidate. This is our poll strategy.... We have a combined leadership and everybody participates in the election process," KPCC President said.

The BJP which has announced incumbent Jagadish Shettar as its choice for the CM's post has been taunting the Congress for not coming out with a name.
