Rahul Gandhi urged Karnataka Congress to stand united: KC Venugopal

"Here the 40 percent corruption issue is there against the government. Unemployment is very high. Lot of issues are there. Rahul Gandhi requested all the senior and other leaders to stand unitedly and fight anti-democratic, anti-people policies of the union and state governments.

"We have to work for the people. We have to make sure that there will be a people-centric government in Karnataka. Mood of the Karnataka people everybody knows. The people are very much fed up with this government," central Congress leader KC Venugopal told reporters after attending the PAC meeting.

Admitting the differences in the party, he said, "There are some statements being made, knowingly or unknowingly, here and there.

"Sometimes you media people also create some issues. Don't fall into that trap at all. Party leaders should unite and should not give different voices, inside or outside the party."

Rahul was invited to attend the PAC meeting held at a private hotel which was attended by senior party leaders including Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar.

Venugopal's statement came in the wake of political slugfest between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar camps who want their respective leaders to assume charge as Chief Minister in the future if the party were to come to power.
