'We Should have gone with JD(S)'

Last Updated 16 May 2009, 20:16 IST

 
The party is now regretting that it should have had a ‘formal understanding’ with the JD(S) to tackle its rival, the BJP.

 KPCC president R V Deshpande feels that the Congress would have won five or six more seats if it had a formal understanding with the JD(S).

He said that the party has lost four-five seats by a thin margin as secular votes were divided between JD(S) and the Congress. The party would have put up a good performance had all the secular votes favoured Congress, he felt. “We are thankful to the JD(S) for not fielding candidates in Shimoga, Bellary and few other constituencies,” Deshpande said.

The KPCC president felt the earliest revamp of the party organisation as the immediate necessity to strengthen the party’s base. He revealed that a decision in this regard will be taken soon.

Declining to comment when asked whether the party went wrong in selecting candidates, Deshpande said that the high command selected the candidates.
