The former Deputy Chief Minister in the then BJP government Laxman Savadi resigned from the party to join the Congress last year, a few days before Jagadish Shettar did. And, now, there is speculation that with the return of Mr. Shettar to the BJP, Mr. Savadi may also go back home.
The former MP and BJP leader Ramesh Katti told reporters in Belagavi on Monday that the party has initiated the process.
“The high command has formed a team to bring Mr. Savadi back home and I am in it. I am involved in the process of trying to get Mr. Savadi re-join the BJP. Senior leaders are in constant touch with me. I have already held some meetings with senior leaders,” he said.
