Former Karnataka chief minister SM Krishna is all set to join the Bharatiya Janata Party in the presence of national president Amit Shah at the party’s national headquarters in New Delhi at 5 pm on Wednesday. Senior BJP leader R Ashok is coordinating Krishna’s BJP joining program.
The 84-year-old Krishna had severed his nearly 50-year-old association with the Congress on January 28 expressing dissatisfaction with being ignored by the party high command.
SM Krishna had gruffly postponed his plans to join the BJP last week following the death of his sister. It is learnt that the BJP State unit is keen to include Krishna into its fold before the by-polls to Nanjangud and Gundlupet Assembly constituencies are completed, as it wants to use his political influence in this part of the State to its advantage.
