Karnataka Congress revels in courting controversies

Bangalore, Oct 11 - Karnataka's ruling Congress is landing itself in controversies - from ministry formation to promoting minorities' welfare - much to the glee of the opposition parties which were demoralized after their poor showing in the May assembly elections. The latest row was sparked off by state Congress chief G. Parameshwara's attempt to impress the minorities by stating that loans should be given to them to set up business/industries and it was okay if they do not repay the loans.
