The former MLC M.D. Lakshminarayana, who is also heading the OBC cell of the KPCC, has decided to quit the Congress in a few days, most likely after Ganesha Chaturthi festival.
Mr. Lakshminarayana, who joined the Congress a few years ago, will return to the ruling BJP next month. A few days ago, he met veteran BJP leader B.S. Yediyurappa and discussed the recent developments in the party and the Congress, it is learnt.
The former MLC told The Hindu on Saturday that he, “Did not like the way in which the party was being run in the State.” He also accused the former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah of neglecting the Hindu vote bank.
