NEW DELHI: The Congress on Wednesday said that Karnataka will be at the centre of the grand old party's election strategy for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections..

The Congress's enthusiasm and optimism about possible Lok Sabha sweep in Karnataka stems from the grand success the party achieved in the state assembly elections held earlier this year..

However, the Congress leaders and planners would do well to remember that in 2013 also the grand old party had fared well in the assembly elections winning 122 seats against the BJP's 40..

In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP won 17 seats with a vote share of 43.37% while the Congress could manage only 9 with 41.2% vote share...

Besides, the grand old party's success in the Lok Sabha elections would also depend on how well its government implements the promised poll guarantees in the state..
