Bengaluru: Even as the seven JD(S) rebel MLAs have claimed that AICC Vice-President Rahul Gandhi has given nod for their entry to the Congress, KPCC President Dr. G. Parameshwara has said that the rebel JD(S) MLAs have not been assured of Congress ticket for the 2018 Assembly Polls.

Speaking to the press persons here yesterday, Dr. Parameshwara said that there was no confusion within the Congress over rebel JD(S) MLAs joining the party. Maintaining that the rebel JD(S) MLAs were joining the Congress without any pre-conditions, the KPCC Chief said that the party would decide on issuing Party tickets to those MLAs.

Stating that MLAs form other parties joining the Congress was not a new phenomenon, he reiterated that there was no opposition within the Congress over the admission of MLAs.
