“I don’t know what will happen on October 3,” said Mr Singh, whose Congress party may not be averse to throwing its hat in the ring.
Addressing a select group of Congress leaders, legislators and others in Bangalore on Friday he said that the “present coalition in the State is not in a good shape.”
Mr Singh called upon Congress leaders to set aside their minor differences for bringing the party back into the power and said “winds of change might be blowing fast.”
However, Mr Singh’s statements are being interpreted by the Congress leaders in different ways. While some leaders said that “winds of change” means formation of JD (S)-Congress coalition government in October, some others termed it as an indication of early election to the Assembly.
Mr Singh, in fact, had referred to Thursday’s meeting of a group of Congress legislators to oppose possibility of joining hands again with the JD (S), if the latter severs its links with the BJP in October, claimed some Congress legislators.
Prepare for elections
Mr Singh called upon the Congress leaders to activate the grassroots workers as the elections to the Lok Sabha and Assembly are to be held in two years.
He asked the party leaders to inform the people about what they have been missing since the Congress, which was “instrumental in transforming Karnataka into a progressive state,” is not in power.
Mr Singh also asked them to highlight the pro-poor projects like the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme and Bharat Nirman of the UPA government.
Taking a dig at the previous NDA regime, Mr Singh alleged that the communal harmony of the country was disturbed during that period because of the divisive politics of the BJP. 
Communalism
Stating that the UPA government has kept the communal forces at bay, the Prime Minister, apparently indicating BJP’s presence in the government, said people of Karnataka should be aware of the danger from communal forces to the country’s progress.
