As part of efforts to strengthen itself ahead of the Assembly elections next year, the Congress in Kalyana Karnataka is going to focus on bringing back leaders and cadres who defected to other parties.
Addressing a press conference at Aiwan-e-Shahi Guest House in Kalaburagi on Saturday, Tippannappa Kamaknur and Sharankumar Modi, vice-president and general secretary of Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC), said that they would themselves approach the residences of the leaders who had deserted the party and convince them to return.
“There are many honest leaders who deserted the Congress and joined other parties. The Congress has already opened its doors for them if they want to return. However, we would ourselves would go to them and persuade them to come back to the party. We are going to plan a special tour in Kalyana Karnataka region for the purpose,” Mr. Kamaknur said.
