Belgavi: Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi on Sunday, November 24 invited Congress MLA Laxmi Hebbalkar to join BJP stating that she did not have a future in the Congress.
Addressing presspersons here Laxman said, ” Lakshmi is like a sister to me, she will be welcomed wholeheartedly if she joins our party.
He further added, “Congress leaders have now realised that their party will not last for long in this state, hence, many Congress leaders are likely to join the BJP after the by-election.”
Meanwhile, Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa met a sulking Congress leader Prakash Hukkeri (six-time MLA and former MP), a Lingayat leader, at a posh hotel owned by BJP MLA Ramesh Katti here.
Prakash Hukkeri has been keen to return to the state politics ever since he was forced by the party into contesting the Lok Sabha election, which he had won in 2014 from Chikkodi Lok Sabha constituency. He was made to quit the state cabinet to contest the Lok Sabha polls, though he was unwilling to do so
