Cong made a mistake trusting alliance with JD(S): Veerappa Moily

Chikkaballapur: Veteran Congress leader Veerappa Moily on Sturday said that trusting alliance with the JDS was a mistake.

Addressing presspersons here he said that Congress party would have won at least 15-16 seats if there was no alliance with the JD(S).

“It was a mistake trusting the alliance, our own people were against the alliance,” he added.

He further added “I don’t know if I’ll contest again. I don’t have such an aspiration anyway.”
