<p>Former Karnataka chief minister and JD(S) legislature party leader H D Kumaraswamy said that the party's ‘Pancha Rathna Ratha Yaathra’ aims at winning 123 seats in the 2023 Assembly elections and there might be "several types of political polarisation" to achieve the goal, he said.</p>.<p>"In order to bring a good independent government in the state, we may have to take several right decisions at the right stages," he told media persons.</p>.<p>"There are many well-wishers and friends in different parties. A large number of leaders in both BJP and Congress are those who have gone from the Janatha parivar. So considering the present developments in both the national parties, a few of those leaders may have a realisation, and might come back to JD(S). Once they come, we will see what decisions are to be taken at that point of time,” Kumaraswamy said.</p>.<p><strong>Read | <a href="https://www.deccanherald.com/state/mysuru/hdk-no-political-conspiracies-will-help-bjp-come-to-power-in-karnataka-1163534.html" target="_blank">HDK: No political conspiracies will help BJP come to power in Karnataka</a></strong></p>.<p>Before heading to Mulbagal in Kolar district to begin the ‘Pancha Ratna Ratha Yaathre’, he offered pooja to Goddess Chamundeshwari atop the Chamundi Hills in Mysuru on Friday morning.</p>.<p>“Due to rains, the ‘Pancha Rathna Ratha Yaathre’ programmes which were supposed to begin in Mulbagal in Kolar district in the early part of this month, were postponed," he said.</p>.<p>"In order to seek blessings to ensure that there are no further hurdles to the ‘Yaathre’, poojas were offered to Lord Srikanteshwara in Nanjangud on Thursday, and Goddess Chamundeshwari, who has always blessed me and our party, on Friday,” he said.</p>.<p>He said "during the first phase of the ‘Yaathre’ for the next 36 days, on each day, we will visit 30 to 35 villages in each constituency".</p>.<p>"We will have a ‘grama vaasthavya’ in a village in the same constituency to understand their problems and expectations.
