Bengaluru, Oct 24: G Parameshwara, the president of Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) has openly admitted that that some leaders from his party may join the BJP ahead of the Assembly elections next year.

Speaking to media persons here on Monday he said: “The number of those quitting Congress will not be big. On the other hand at least seven legislators from the JD(S) are ready to join the Congress. Some BJP MLAs, too, are in touch with us.”

The party is considering fielding leaders coming from other parties in those constituencies where winnability of the Congress candidates is low, he said.

“In the coming days, we will discuss welcoming others to the party after assessing ground realities,” the Congress leader said.

Parameshwara held a meeting with party leaders from Chikkamagaluru, Hassan, Shivamogga, Udupi, Dakshina Kannada, Chitradurga and Kodagu districts ahead of AICC vice president Rahul Gandhi’s visit next month.

“Some have urged that Rahul should visit religious mutts in the region. This will be conveyed to him,” he said.

My joining BJP is false: Prakash Koliwad

Meanwhile, Prakash Koliwad, son of Speaker K.B. Koliwad, has denied joining BJP as appeared in certain sections of the media. “The information that I am joining BJP is far from the truth,” he said.

New Delhi, Feb 26: Calling the recent violence in Delhi as 'planned conspiracy', Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday demanded Union Home Minister Amit Shah's resignation over the clashes that left 20 people dead in two days.

"CWC (Congress Working Committee) believes Home Minister and Centre is responsible. The Home Minister should tender his resignation with immediate effect," the Congress party's interim chief told reporters here.

Violent clashes erupted between pro and anti-CAA groups in parts of northeast Delhi on Monday, leading to widespread vandalism and arson for over two days.

While many blamed police for inaction to control the mobs, Union Home Minister Amit Shah met the top brass of Delhi Police, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, LG Anil Baijal and directed the officials to control the situation.

Gandhi blamed both the Central and the Delhi governments, saying the administration did not take adequate steps on time to curb violence in the national capital.

"Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Center is equally responsible for not activating the administration to reach out to the people to maintain peace and harmony," Sonia added.

The death toll in the violence rose to 20 on Wednesday, according to GTB hospital authorities.

Government sources told ANI that the National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval has been given the charge of bringing normalcy in the capital.

Sources also said that Doval will brief Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Cabinet about the prevailing situation.

The NSA last night visited Jaffrabad, Seelampur and other parts of northeast Delhi where he held talks with leaders of different communities.

Without naming any leader, the Congress interim president also targeted the leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party for making inflammatory statements saying that "there is a conspiracy behind the violence, country also saw this during Delhi elections. Many BJP leaders made inciting comments creating an atmosphere of fear and hatred."
