"Let me confess you all something. I am not happy with the 135 seats we achieved in the assembly polls," DK Shivakumar told party cadres.
Karnataka Congress chief DK Shivakumar has indicated dis-satisfaction with the whopping 135 seats won by the party in the assembly election held earlier this month. At a meeting with party workers in Bengaluru today, he said the Congress should "perform well in every poll from now on" -- setting better results as target in next year's general election.
"Let me confess you all something. I am not happy with the 135 seats we achieved in the assembly polls," Mr Shivakumar told party cadres.
"Our focus needs to be in the right place and that is the upcoming general elections. The Congress should perform well in every poll from now on, and we all need to work hard. This is just a beginning and do not get lazy with just one win," added Mr Shivakumar, who took oath as Karnataka's Deputy Chief Minister along with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah yesterday.
Karnataka has 28 Lok Sabha seats - the seventh largest number -- making it one of the key battleground states.
