The speculation about a few BJP MLAs preparing to join the ruling Congress is now set to reach the BJP high command, as MLA for Yeshwantpur S.T. Somashekar is scheduled to visit Delhi on August 25 to meet central leaders.
Mr. Somashekar, who triggered speculations about his political moves by meeting Chief Minister Siddaramaiah recently, told a private TV channel that he had received information from the party central leadership to visit Delhi on August 25.
Mr. Somashekar, who has been complaining about constituency-level problems with respect to the party organisation, expressed confidence that the situation might improve with the intervention of the party high command. He said he would stay back in the BJP if the situation improved.
