Will discuss alliance with JDS, says Cong's Kharge
May 15, 2018 10:03
So, the first statement by the Congress indicating they will NOT get a clear majority (113 seats) to retain power in Karnataka.
Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress, says that while the correct position on who is leading or trailing in the Karnataka polls will be known at around 11.30 am, he will be discussing the possibility of an alliance with the JDS with Ghulam Nabi Azad and Ashok Gehlot, both of whom have been flown in to the state today to avoid the debacle that happened in Goa.
In an aside, Kharge's son Priyank Kharge is trailing in Chittapur.
Leads so far: BJP: 107, Congress: 72, JDS: 40.
If the leads translate into wins, the BJP is likely to cross the 113 mark alone.
