BANGALORE: Union finance minister P Chidambaram feels Congress has a great opportunity to capture power in the forthcoming assembly elections in Karnataka.
Addressing the party office-bearers at KPCC office here on Tuesday, he said the split in the BJP (former CM B S Yeddyurappa's decision to quit the BJP) and other problems had provided a perfect platform for the Congress to emerge victorious.
He asked the Congress leaders to focus on the SCs, STs, minorities, OBCs and women, the traditional vote bank of the party. This was former PM Indira Gandhi's message. Our party represents all sections of the society,'' he said.
Directing the party men to prepare for the polls, he said: The BJP government has no moral right to continue in office, which they assumed through 'Operation Lotus.''
Chidambaram urged Congress leaders to concentrate more on ensuring that credit flow reaches the neglected sections, including the minorities. In case of minorities, the credit flow is just 7.5 per cent, though the national average is 13.87 per cent.
