Cong and JDS adopted 'give and take' policy in seat sharing:

The ruling Congress-JD(S) coalition coordination committee chairman Siddaramaiah Thursday said alliance partners had adopted a "give and take" policy in the seat sharing deal for the Lok Sabha elections.

The state Congress Legislature party leader also said the party's list of candidates for Lok Sabha polls is likely to be finalised by March 16.

"In alliance there will be give and take..," Siddaramaiah said to a question whether Congress leaders were satisfied with seat sharing.

Responding to reports about disgruntlement among party leaders in a few places, the former chief minister said, "all these things will be there in the beginning..aspirants will be bit angry, but things would normalise gradually."
On ceding Tumkur Lok Sabha constituency to the JD(S), despite state Congress leaders' stand that no seat with sitting party MP should be conceded, he said "We had said it should not be given, but it is the party high command's decision, we will have to go by the decision.."
On Jadhav contesting as BJP candidate from Gulbarga constituency, when the matter was still pending before the Speaker, he said, "We will seek opinion of legal experts on this."
