Bengaluru, July 28: Former Chief Minister and the chairman of the Coordination Committee Siddaramaiah has said that the Congress leaders and activists should be prepared to tackle the communal virus that has become a challenge for the party in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.

He was speaking at a programme held to felicitate the new KPCC President Dinesh Gundu Rao, Secretary Ishwar Khandre, and AICC Secretary Saleem Ahmed at Gyan Jyoti auditorium here on Saturday

These communal viruses are responsible for Congress’ defeat in the last assembly elections. BJP affiliates have succeeded in slandering the people's mind. The primary responsibility of the Congress workers is to cast the people out of the propaganda of the communalists during the next Lok Sabha polls.

Former Union Minister P Chidambaram, MV Rajasekharan, KPCC President Dinesh Gundu Rao, Secretary Ishwar Khandre, AICC Secretary Saleem Ahmed, former Minister Parameshwar Naik, RB Timmapura, MLA Anekal Shivanna, MLA Soumya Reddy and others were present.

The foundation of the Congress is the unselfish service of the student and youth organizations. The appointment of Dinesh Gundu Rao as the KPCC president, Ishwar Khandre as the secretary,  and Salim Ahmed as AICC secretary has brought a real delight as all of them were unselfish workers of such organisations. The Congress expects more from them.

-Chidambaram, former union minister
