KA-SIDDARAMAIAH-SEAT SHARING

Coalition govt yet to start talks on LS seats: Siddaramaiah
Mangaluru, Feb 2 (PTI): The ruling Congress-JD(S) combine
in Karnataka has not yet begun discussions on seat sharing for
the coming Lok Sabha polls, former Chief Minister Siddramaiah
said Saturday.
Speaking to reporters at the airport here on his way to
attend a programme at Manjanady, he said it was quite natural
for many aspirants to seek seats in their region of influence
and winning chance would be the criterion while choosing
candidates.
He said leaders of both parties would sit together and
formulate guidelines for seat sharing.
Siddaramaiah ridiculed BJPs criticism that the state has
two chief ministers at present, saying the BJP had three chief
ministers during their tenure and still could not complete
their term.
Several of their leaders had criminal cases filed against
them during the period, he said. PTI MVG APR
