"It Will Take Some Time, But...": Congress Leader On Karnataka Dilemma
NDTV
KC Venugopal said that the Congress was open to forming post-poll alliances with other regional parties, even if they had ideological differences or were rivals in some states.
KC Venugopal, a senior Congress leader and top aide of Rahul Gandhi, on Sunday, said the party was working on deciding who will be the Chief Minister of Karnataka following the huge election win. He also said it was working on arranging the next iteration of Rahul Gandhi's cross-country foot march and mending the strife between its top leaders in Rajasthan ahead of elections later this year.
"This is a message for opposition unity, and we have to work together at the national level," Mr Venugopal told NDTV a day after the Karnataka election results.
He said that the Congress was open to forming post-poll alliances with other regional parties, even if they had ideological differences or were rivals in some states.
"We can't have an alliance with CPI-M in Kerala or BRS in Telangana, but we can have a post-poll alliance and in some cases pre-poll alliance," he said, referring to the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the Bharat Rashtra Samithi.
