Bengaluru, Oct 24: G Parameshwara, the president of Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) has openly admitted that that some leaders from his party may join the BJP ahead of the Assembly elections next year.

Speaking to media persons here on Monday he said: “The number of those quitting Congress will not be big. On the other hand at least seven legislators from the JD(S) are ready to join the Congress. Some BJP MLAs, too, are in touch with us.”

The party is considering fielding leaders coming from other parties in those constituencies where winnability of the Congress candidates is low, he said.

“In the coming days, we will discuss welcoming others to the party after assessing ground realities,” the Congress leader said.

Parameshwara held a meeting with party leaders from Chikkamagaluru, Hassan, Shivamogga, Udupi, Dakshina Kannada, Chitradurga and Kodagu districts ahead of AICC vice president Rahul Gandhi’s visit next month.

“Some have urged that Rahul should visit religious mutts in the region. This will be conveyed to him,” he said.

My joining BJP is false: Prakash Koliwad

Meanwhile, Prakash Koliwad, son of Speaker K.B. Koliwad, has denied joining BJP as appeared in certain sections of the media. “The information that I am joining BJP is far from the truth,” he said.
