Mysuru: Sports and Youth Empowerment Minister K. C. Narayana Gowda has condemned Congress Leaders’ statements that the MLAs who had quit the Congress and joined the BJP will come back to the party. The 17 of us will not leave the BJP for any reason. The BJP has treated us well, he asserted.

The party has given us ministerial berth and also allowed us to function independently.

He said mediapersons here that he will not return to the Congress for any reason.
