Cong to fight independently in local bodies: Parameshwar
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.

Accept Congress decision appointing V D Satheesan as Kerala CM: K C Venugopal
Thiruvananthapuram/New Delhi (PTI): Congress general secretary (organisation) K C Venugopal on Thursday accepted the party decision to select V D Satheesan as the chief minister of Kerala and congratulated him.
Speaking to reporters in New Delhi, Venugopal, who was one of the three persons being considered for the post, said he will provide all support to the CM and the UDF government in Kerala.
The decision comes more than 10 days after the results of the April Assembly polls in Kerala were declared.
The Congress-led UDF secured a more than two-thirds majority in the Kerala Assembly elections, but the party has been unable to decide its chief ministerial face due to lobbying by different camps and protests by workers at the ground level.
Besides, Satheesan and Venugopal, senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala was also in the race for the CM post.
