Bengaluru, May 13: KPCC chief DK Shivakumar shed tears while addressing reporters after vote counting trends projected a majority for his party on Saturday. Shivakumar said he told the Gandhi family and AICC chief Mallikarjun Kharge that he will deliver Karnataka.
“I assured Smt Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi that I will deliver on Karnataka elections. I can’t forget Sonia Gandhi coming to meet me in jail when BJP put me there. I rather chose to be in jail than have an office. That is the confidence that the Gandhi family, Congress and the entire country bestowed on me,” an emotional Shivakumar said.
He thanked senior leaders in the state including Siddaramiah, other MLAs and party workers.
“It is not one effort. All of them are responsible (for the victory),” he said. People have reposed faith in us, leaders have supported us, he added.
