Alliance with JD(S) among reasons cited for Cong. defeat in LS polls

A month after the results of the 17th general elections were announced, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) on Wednesday discussed five possible reasons, including an alliance with its governing partner in the State — the Janata Dal (Secular) — for the party’s poor show in the elections.
In the presence of AICC general secretary in charge of Karnataka K.C. Venugopal, the former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and top leaders of the party, the KPCC did an introspection over the party’s poor performance in the elections. In the three-hour-long meeting, Mr. Venugopal obtained details from each of the 28 parliamentary constituencies and identified five major reasons for the party’s drubbing.
