Cong leaders remarks led to misunderstandings in coalition govt, says Venugopal 

Mangaluru: The remarks of a few Congress leaders on governance in Karnataka had created some misunderstandings in the ruling Congress-JD(S) coalition which will be sorted out soon, AICC general secretary K C Venugopal said Sunday.

“The coalition government in the state is here to stay and will complete the full five-year term and not a single Congress MLA will quit the party,” Venugopal, who is in-charge of the state, told reporters here.

He said the Congress had sought clarification from some leaders who had made a few unsavoury comments on the alliance government.

They have been asked not to make such statements in future, he added.

Congress MLAs had refused the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) offer to destabilise the government, he said, expressing confidence that no legislator will leave the party.
