BENGALURU: With just 48 hours left for the June 10 Rajya Sabha elections, talks between Congress and JD(S) to win the fourth seat are yet to see any breakthrough. "If the JD(S) really wants to defeat BJP, let it retire its candidate from the fray and help our candidate win. There is no question of transferring our second preference votes," opposition leader Siddaramaiah said.
