Koppal, June 22 -- Congress MLA Raghavendra Hitnal on Monday said the cross-voting by JDS and BJP MLAs in the recent MLC elections shows the weakness and lack of coordination within both parties.

Speaking to reporters in Koppal, Hitnal said, "You have shown more than what I can say. They have failed to keep their own MLAs under control. Cross-voting reflects the weakness of both parties and shows there is no coordination among them."

Commenting on reports that the next BJP Legislature Party (BLP) meeting would be held in Dharmasthala, he said, "I saw on TV that their next BLP meeting will be in Dharmasthala. Ours is CLP, theirs is BLP. I heard they are holding the BLP in Dharmasthala. This shows they don't have trust among themselves."...
