Cong made "sacrifice" by forming govt with JDS; new PCC chief

The newly appointed KPCC president Dinesh Gundu Rao today said that the Congress had made a "sacrifice" by forming a government with the JD(S), to preserve secularism and democracy.

He said though Congress secured 80 assembly seats as against 37 of JDS, it decided to help the latter form the government, "not because we are weak, but because our objectives are different."
