Kalaburagi, Jan 11: KPCC President Dr G Parameshwara said that BJP National President Amit Shah's assurance to party workers saying 'Do what I say and I will bring you victory', had given raise to suspicion.

Speaking to reporters in Kalaburagi on Thursday, state Congress chief alleged that BJP had plotted to misuse electronic voting machines (EVMs) and to win the election.

"We will appeal to the State Election Commission not to use EVMs in the upcoming polls," Parameshwara added.

Mahadayi dispute

On questions regarding the Mahadayi river water sharing dispute, Parameshwara said that Karnataka was waiting for Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar to write to his counterpart Siddaramaiah.

"Post which, we will bear upon the Goa Congress not to oppose the sharing of the river water," he added. He criticised Parrikar for doing a flip-flop on the issue.

The Goa government, which was inclined to share water, did a complete reversal recently stating that it would contest the issue before the Mahadayi River Water Sharing Tribunal.

I dont know, you told "found" by mistake or intentionally. Anyway that makes sense. If 'found' or 'caught red handed' was few and you people did more than that.

The headlines above shows that Congress knows its fate already. Losers need a reason. Go and ask Punjab CM Captain Amrinder Singh, he will tell whether the EVM's can be manipulated or not.

Bengaluru, May 18: Senior Congress leader and former Union Minister Mallikarjuna Kharge on Monday slammed the State Government’s decision to appoint administrative committees to Panchayats, which completes their five-year term, shortly.

Speaking to media persons, the Congress leader described the State Government’s decision on appointing committees as a ‘death knell ‘ to the basic characters of the Panchayat bodies, which were elected on a non-party basis.

Strongly recommending the BJP-led government to desist from its decision, Kharge urged Chief minister B S Yediyurappa to extend the term of the elected bodies of the Panchayats by six months.

Bengaluru, Jul 29: A day after Congress staged a nationwide 'Save Democracy' protest, Janata Dal (Secular) leader HD Kumaraswamy slammed Congress for "dividing" the political parties and "buying MLAs" and questioned their "democratic behaviour" to lure Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MLAs who supported them.

Kumaraswamy, in a media statement, said, "Is it a democratic behaviour to lure MLAs of other parties through political shenanigans and later merging with them?"

"Congress is an expert in dividing political parties and purchase of MLAs," said Kumaraswamy adding, "If you are dividing the like-minded party MLAs through deceit, who would support you?"

He alleged that the term "horse trade" in politics came to be used because of Congress.

Congress had tied to divide the Janata Dal (Secular) in 2004. To this, he added, "To avoid the party being hijacked by the Congress, I had to oust the Congress-JD(S) coalition government through a political coup."

Kumaraswamy further accused, "Haven't the Congress who is making a big noise about the purchase of MLAs divided the JD(S) in the past? Is it not a fact that for the sake of one Rajya Sabha seat, the Congress government in Karnataka purchased eight JD(S) MLAs?"

Both -- Congress and BJP -- are "criminals" in purchase matter, he added.

Rajasthan Congress is in turmoil after simmering differences between Sachin Pilot and Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot came out in the open. Pilot was removed as the Deputy Chief Minister and the state unit chief of Congress.

The Congress has accused the BJP of indulging in horse-trading to bring down the Gehlot government. The BJP has rejected the allegations.
