After the Congress Legislature Party meeting here, KPCC President R V Deshpande said: “We cannot disclose our strategy right now.”

Congress MLAs will be holding another round of confabulation at Vidhan Soudha to decide on the steps the party should take during the trust vote, which Mr. Yeddyurappa is confident of sailing through.

The Congress decision on participating in the proceedings depended on the decision to be taken by the Speaker whether to allow the debate or go ahead with the voting on the trust vote, sources said.

Congress Legislature Party leader Siddaramaih refused to share any details of the meeting to media.
