Conceding that the ruling Congress-JDS alliance is facing dissidence in some Lok Sabha constituencies, the Congress' Karnataka unit Tuesday expressed confidence about resolving differences by making both party workers understand the need to defeat "communal BJP."
KPCC chief Dinesh Gundu Rao on Tuesday said he has spoken to both Muddahanumegowda and Rajanna and the party would resolve the issue "amicably."
"We had to concede Mandya because sitting MP there wasfrom JD(S), so naturally they asked for the seat.They also asked for a seat- either Mysore or Tumkur, I said we cannotconcede Mysore because there is more opportunity for Congressthere."
"Tumkur we had to concede despite having sitting MP, as they demanded one among the two seats," he said, adding that "there is some disgruntlement there in Tumkur and we willsolve it."
