Senior BJP leader Yeddyurappa defected BJP during the previous regime
As per report a meeting of MLAs, MLCs and MPs was held at Yeddyurappa's Bengaluru residence to discuss the next course of action against the ruling party's mismanagement. In that, former ministers SD Somasekar and Bhairathi Basavaraju, who switched to bjp from the congress party during the previous regime, did not participate. While speculations are rife that both of them are going to rejoin the congress party, this incident serves to strengthen it. However, both the former Chief Ministers, Yeddyurappa and Basavaraj Bommy, have denied the reports that both of them are going to join the congress party. “No one from our party is planning to quit the BJP. A couple of MLAs seem to be considering it for various reasons. But I am sure no one will leave the party.” Yeddyurappa expressed hope.
Speculations are rife that two bjp MLAs from karnataka are going to rejoin the congress party. The important meeting held at the residence of former karnataka chief minister and senior bjp leader Yeddyurappa in Bengaluru, two ministers who had defected to the bjp during the previous regime, did not attend. With both of them already speculating about rejoining the congress party, the fact that they skipped this meeting has drawn attention. However, both of them explained that they could not attend due to personal reasons.
Rejecting these speculations, Basavaraj Pommy has said that he has personally spoken to all the MLAs who left the congress in 2019 and joined the bjp and then won the assembly elections in 2023 and assured them of the party's support. “I have spoken to each of the MLAs personally, Somasekar, Basavaraju, K Gopalaya, Sivaram Hepper, N Munirathna. They have assured that they will not leave the party. congress is trying to divert the issue of own party MLAs rebelling against the party.” He accused that.
