Congress will split after Lok Sabha elections: Basavaraja Bommai

Karnataka Congress will split after the Lok Sabha elections. Former Chief Minister Basavaraja Bommai said that since the party could not find suitable candidates, tickets were given to members of the minister's family.

Speaking in Haveri, he said that Congress will become two in three months after Modi takes oath. He said that its effect will also be on Karnataka.

Responding to a question about giving tickets to the family members of ministers in the Congress, he said that family politics has existed in the Congress since the beginning and there is nothing wrong with that. However, this time there is a different reason for family politics to take place on such a scale. The Congress High Command had told about ten to twelve ministers to contest in the elections to all the ministers in the Congress.

There is no political gain from this. People have decided to vote for Modi. He said that it will not benefit the Congress.

We will decide tomorrow about filing nomination papers as a Lok Sabha election candidate. We will submit the nomination paper after finding good time. I am going to submit nomination papers twice. He said that he will submit nomination papers once personally and once publicly.

Responding to Srirangapatna Congress MLA Ramesh Bandissidde Gowda's statement that former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy will join the hospital if the elections are held, Bommayi said that Ramesh Bandisidde Gowda is not a doctor and it is not right to bring the issue of health into politics.
