SM Krishna will join the BJP soon, claims BS Yeddyurappa
NEW DELHI: Veteran politician SM Krishna, who recently resigned from the Congress , will likely join the BJP soon, Karnataka unit president BS Yeddyurappa revealed today.
"SM Krishna has decided to join BJP. We don't know when for certain, we'll fix that soon. But he is joining 100 per cent ," Yeddyurappa told ANI.
Last week, Krishna, 84, quit the Congress and alleged he was being sidelined in the party because of his age.
"What pained me was how the Congress sidelined a loyal worker and cited my age for sidelining me," the former Karnataka chief minister said.
He further claimed that his role in the party was one of dwindling importance, as the Congress no longer required mass leaders and wanted only managers.
Despite repeated attempts by the Congress high-command to win him back, Krishna said his decision to quit the party was a "closed chapter".
