The Congress in Karnataka which was opposing holding of elections to Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) ahead of the Assembly elections, is all set to participate in the poll and present a spirited fight against the BJP and other political parties, KPCC president Dr G Parameshwar told Express.
Congress is ready to face it with all its seriousness, he added. He said that the party had opposed the ULBs polls as candidates belonging to SC/ST, OBCs and women were deprived off 50 per cent seat reservation for contesting the elections. The vulnerable sections are now to be content with the present 33.5 per cent reservation in which is meager, he said.
