Congress should treat us well before forming alliance: Gowda
JD(S) supremo Deve Gowda has asked Congress to treat regional parties well, stating, "Congress is the big brother of secular parties. They should treat us well before striking an alliance for the Lok Sabha polls." Claiming seat-sharing talks are still ongoing, he also asked Karnataka CM HD Kumaraswamy to tolerate the "pain" he's suffering while running the Congress-JD(S) coalition government.
