Eleven Congress candidates won from their respective seats in the recently concluded MLC polls in Karnataka.
Speaking to the media here in Belagavi, Siddharamaiah, said, "This will encourage Congress to fight further for the cause of common man and to face future elections with confidence. We would have won comfortably in more than 15 seats if other parties had not joined hands internally. These backdoor politics is common and we will face this in future also.
