Karnataka Deputy CM seeks to prevent potential BJP MLA poaching.
The Karnataka Assembly Election 2023 witnessed turncoat candidates experiencing mixed fortunes.
Election in Karnataka’s Athani Assembly constituency has become highly interesting because the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and the Opposition Congress have virtually swapped their candidates and are going in full throttle to exhibit the power of strength.
After prominent Lingayat leader and former Karnataka chief minister Jagadish Shettar defected to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and joined Congress ahead of the upcoming state assembly elections, Congress general secretary in-charge communication Jairam Ramesh on Monday took a swipe at BJP saying the ruling party in the state is falling like a house of cards.
Former CM Jagadish Shettar questioned why he was asked not to contest when he had an unblemished reputation and had built the party from the grassroots in North Karnataka for the last 30 years.
