Deve Gowda meets Rahul Gandhi – JD (S) seeks 10 Karnataka LS seats


New Delhi, Mar 6 (IANS): The Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) wants to contest 10 of the 28 Lok Sabha seats in Karnataka, party chief H D Deve Gowda said on Wednesday after holding talks on seat sharing with Congress President Rahul Gandhi here.

"Several points about seat sharing were discussed. We wanted 12 Lok Sabha seats in Karnataka, now we have come down to 10 seats," the former Prime Minister said.

"Our leader Danish Ali and Congress'  K C Venugopal will hold further discussions. Congress President Rahul Gandhi will take the final decision," he told the media.

The Congress and the JD-S are in alliance in the Karnataka government. Of the 28 Lok Sabha seats in 2014, the BJP won 17, the Congress nine and the JD-S two.

    My gut feel is HDD is going to be the PM if the Mahaghatbandan wins. He has a strong chance and he is the only experienced.

    JDS is given 10 seats, last to last they could win 4 seats, it will be irony of our country if he becomes PM again having only 4 seats, looking at the scenario in Karnataka where his son having 35 MLA become CM, it could also be possible .....

    Give Deve Gowda following seats to contest...

    1.Shimoga
    2.Mangalore
    3.Udupi-Chickmagalur.
    4.Karwar
    5.Bangalore South
    6.Dharwad.
    7.Bangalore South
    8.Hassan
    9.Mandya.

    He will win last 2...Congress will anyway loose first 7 seats...so it should make no difference to them...let Gowda spend some of his 'hard earned' money...

    ***If Sumalatha contests as BJP candidate from Mandya, Gowda may loose Mandya too***

    Tak...Takk...

    Actually meeting of DG with Raul was to advantage of Congress. Now JDS scales down from 12 seats to 10 seats. One more round of the Patriarchal Grand father with Mother Sonia now? Perhaps DG will further climb down from 10 to 8?
