Tumkur, August 09: Deputy Chief Minister Dr G Parameshwar said that KPCC president Dinesh Gundu Rao has clarified that the Congress would fight the local bodies elections independently without having alliance with any other political parties.

Speaking at a party workers programme here on Thursday, he said that it was not easy to lead a coalition government at this time.

“We have come to an internal agreement with the JDS to continue the programmes including Anna Bhagya, Ksheera Bhagya and others introduced in the previous Congress government. It is very difficult to lead the government with proper coordination. But it is inevitable for us”, he said.
