KPCC President G Parameshwara, who was among various leaders who spoke at a membership drive launched here, said Congress President Sonia Gandhi has directed all leaders to sink their differences and strive unitedly to bring back the party to power in the state.
Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah urged partymen to inform people at block level of the corruption charges faced by BJP and its 'maladministration' in the last four and a half years.
He alleged that the BJP government had failed to resolve the Cauvery crisis, but tried to shift the blame on the Centre.
AICC General Secretary E Hanumantha Rao, also in charge of party affairs in the state, ruled out replacing Parameshwara, who he said would continue till the assembly poll.
Congress was unseated from power in 2004 assembly poll, but later ruled the state for 20-months under a coalition arrangement with JDS.
In the 2008 assembly poll, the first BJP government in the South came to power in the state.
