Krishna today reacted "coldly" to the on-going hectic
developments in the Janata Parivar camps which has been making
unity moves apprehending early elections, saying "congress is
ready to face any contingency".
When reporters repeatedly posed questions on what impact
the unity moves being rushed through by Janata Parivar leaders
would have on Congress, he spiked them commenting "these are
all on-going things. You (scribes) better elicit views on
development programmes of the government".
Krishna indicated that he was not concerned about the
meeting of former prime minister H D Devegowda, who heads
Janata Dal (Secular), All India progressive Janata Dal
President, S R Bommai and BJP leader Rajashekhara Murthy
scheduled for today.
Krishna reiterated that the Congress would not go to
early assembly polls in the state even in the event of BJP led
NDA alliance advancing the Lok Sabha elections and declared
"We will go to election as scheduled in Septmeber or October
next".
Krishna sarcastically remarked, "If my AICC president Sonia Gandhi and KPCC president Janardhan Poojary asked me to prepare for early polls, I would do it as a humble Congress worker."
"I am a humble Congress Chief Minsiter too" Krishna said. Bureau Report
