Many BJP MLAs, leaders want to join Congress: G Parameshwara

BENGALURU:The Congress' Karnataka unit on Monday claimed that some BJP legislators and leaders have evinced interest in joining the party, ahead of the 2018 Assembly elections in the state.

“Some BJP legislators and leaders have expressed interest in joining our party and are in touch with us. But it is difficult to take everyone in as we will have our party leaders in those constituencies,” Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) President G Parameshwara said here. “We will have to think before taking them in,” he said.

Parameshwara, however, said a decision has already been made to take in seven rebel leaders from the Janata Dal Secular.
