JDU will support Congress: Sharad Yadav faction
Assembly Election
Bengaluru, May 2: JDU state president Dr Nada Gowda said that the party executive meeting has decided to support the Congress in this Assembly election in Karnataka in order to defeat communal forces.
Speaking to reporters here on Wednesday, he said that the decision was taken at the party Executive Committee meeting held here on April 28. The NDA government at the centre has failed to fulfill the promises made to the people. The JDU has taken this decision to ensure that the Opposition party should also be as stronger as ruling party in a democratic system, he said.
It is possible to build a strong nation on the basis of scientific approach and development. But the BJP has been trying to mislead the people emotionally and is trying to build the society on this ground which is not possible. In view of this, the party workers would campaign in favour of Congress candidates, he said.
As there are several cases of the party pending before the court and Election Commission, it was decided to flout Loktantrik Janatadal Party on May 18 in order to contest the next Parliamentary elections, he said.

Kane scores hat trick and Bayern extends Bundesliga lead to 11 points
Berlin (AP): Harry Kane was substituted in at the hour mark and still had enough time to score a hat trick on Saturday.
The England captain took his goal tally for Bayern Munich this season to 28 and the defending champions extended their lead to 11 points after thrashing Stuttgart 5-0 on the road.
Second-placed Leipzig later hosted Eintracht Frankfurt.
With Kane on the bench, Konrad Laimer took on the scoring duties and produced a superb finish. The Austria midfielder collected a long ball and combined with Michael Olise before slotting home from close range with a subtle backheel past goalkeeper Alexander Nübel in the 11th minute.
Kane made it 2-0 with a low shot into the bottom corner and Josip Stanišic added his name to the scoresheet. Kane added further luster to the win from the penalty spot after Stuttgart was reduced to 10 men for Lorenz Assignon using his arm to clear a ball in the 81st.
Kane completed the rout with a flick from an Olise cross with two minutes left. He has found the net five more times with England this season, taking his total to 33 goals for club and country.
Stuttgart had chances before halftime but lacked a cutting edge. Midfielder Nikolas Nartey thought he equalized only for his goal to be ruled out for offside after a VAR check.
Bayern Munich is unbeaten in 16 league and cup games against German opposition this season.
