KPCC campaign chairman D.K. Shivakumar on Friday ruled out the possibility of a hung Legislative Assembly after the elections on May 12 and predicted a clear-cut majority for his party.
He said the dominant Vokkaliga community has not distanced itself from the ruling Congress and the government has treated all communities equally during the last five years.
He said at a Meet the Press organised by the Bangalore Press Club that he was not in the contention for the Chief Minister’s post. Elections are being fought under the leadership of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
He alleged that the Modi government has been misusing the Income Tax department for conducting raids on small party leaders and workers in the run-up to the elections. The raids were conducted so far only on residences of Congress leaders. Not a single BJP leader’s residence has been raided so far, he claimed.
