JDS to take out 'Padayatra' to strengthen party base in Karnataka

After the rout in the recent Lok Sabha election, Janata Dal (Secular) on Saturday said it would take out a statewide 'padayatra' to strengthen the party base.
But the date of the march was yet to be decided and it would be sometime in August, party sources said.
JDS supremo and former prime minister HD Deve Gowda told party leaders that the aim of the padayatra was not to hurt his party’s ally in the government, Congress.
“I want to make it clear to you that our programmes should not hurt the coalition government, which was formed by a national party (Congress) and a regional party (JDS) which came together for a secular ideology," he said.
