Bengaluru, May 5: KPCC Campaign Committee Chairman D K Shivakumar ruled out the possibility of hung Legislative Assembly after the elections on May 12 and predicted a clear-cut majority for his party.

Addressing a meet the press programme at the Bengaluru Press Club on Friday, he said the dominant Vokkaliga community has not distanced from the Congress and the government has treated all community equally during the last five years.

Shivakumar, a prominent Vokkaliga community leader of the Congress party known for his organisational capabilities, said the Congress would emerge victorious in the May 12 elections.

Answering questions, he made it clear that he was not in the contention of the Chief Minister’s post.

Elections are being fought under the leadership of Chief Minister Siddarmaiah, the KPCC Campaign Committee Chairman said and said the Congress Legislature Party would make the final decision after the election.

He attacked the Narendra Modi government for misusing the Income Tax department for conducting raids on small party leaders and workers during the run-up to the elections.

IT raids were conducted so far only on residences of Congress leaders and not a single BJP leader’s residence has been raided so far, he claimed.
