Mangaluru, November 10: Union Minister DV Sadananda Gowda admitted that the controversial statements of some of the party leaders caused set back to the BJP in the recently held by-poll in the state.

Speaking to reporters here on Saturday, he said that the party would rectify the mistakes and make the strategies followed during the last Lok Sabha election for the forthcoming Lok Sabha election. The BJP would definitely win minimum 20 seats, he said.

Congress will be a part of history

Instead of celebrating Tipu Jayanti, he should be forgotten. The Congress has celebrated the Tipu Jayanti amidst stiff opposition. After the forthcoming Lok Sabha election, the Congress would be a part of history, he said.

Gathbandhan impossible

Mahagathbandhan was a distant dream. It would not happen due to lack of an efficient leadership. Rahul Gandhi was a joker. He was facing the opposition within his party. The regional parties in the Mahagathbandhan were like crabs. They would not allow others to go up, he analysed.
