Shivamogga, Feb 16: In a fresh jolt to Congress party in Karnataka, former minister Kumar Bangarappa now revealed that he was thinking about joining Bharatiya Janata Party.
Speaking at a meeting of the party workers and his followers here on Wednesday, he said he will announce his next political step soon. He said the workers and his loyal followers are asking him to join BJP by quitting Congress.
“I would respect the emotions of my followers. But I have to think before taking any step as I have been associated with Congress party for the past several years believing in its ideals. So, quitting it and embracing another party is not an easy decision. Politics divided my family. I would announce my decision to join the BJP shortly after discussing it with my well-wishers.”
He also alleged that there is no respect for loyal followers of Congress party in the Siddaramaiah government.
“KPCC president G Parameshwara has failed to strengthen the party in the state. Veteran politicians like S M Krishna and Jaffer Sharief were ill-treated by the party. Though the issue was brought to the notice of Congress President Sonia Gandhi, nobody took any decision.”

If Kumara Bangarappa joins bjp then it will be shame for him. In case he joins bjp then surely he has received huge amount of money and assurance to be CM. My suggestion to Kumara Bangarappa is not to be on sale and keep his dignity. Money and power is not everything in life. This is a short life and can meet end any time. Lead a respectable life so that people can remember and respect you after your death.
