In a meeting held with AICC vice president, Rahul Gandhi, Congress leader, chief minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday night in Bengaluru, the party reportedly asked all 7 MLAs to join Congress officially either in December or first week of January 2018. Congress leaders reportedly assured the 7 members that would be given ticket to contest in the next state assembly elections.
Speaking to media persons after the meeting Siddaramaiah said, the 7 JDS leaders in the presence of AICC vice president Rahul Gandhi have opted to join Congress. All 7 MLAs have huge public support at their respective constituencies and their entry to Congress would boost the strength of the party workers further in the state.
