No BJP MLA will join the Congress. But Congress leaders Siddaramaiah or D.K. Shivakumar may join the BJP instead, and BJP leader and MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal said in Vijayapura on Sunday.
The two Congress leaders are fighting among themselves. It is likely that one of them will join the BJP. The fight is so severe that Mr. Siddaramaiah will quit the Congress for sure, he told journalists. “Mr. Siddaramaiah is counting his last days in the Congress. His condition in that party is not stable. He will soon quit,’’ he said.
Asked if he was joking, he said that he is very serious about what he is saying as he has inside information. “But if these leaders want to join the BJP, then senior party leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, will take a decision, he said.
