Bengaluru: In a big boost to the BJP, Kollegal MLA, N Mahesh all set to join BJP.

He was expelled from BSP in 2019 as he didn’t support JD(S)- Congress coalition government led by H.D. Kumaraswamy at the time of vote of confidence at the floor of the house.

Mahesh was elected as a BSP MLA in the 2018 general election from Kollegal SC constituency in Chamarajanagar. He was the BSP state unit president at that time. He was supported by JD(S) in the election as both the parties had a pre electoral alliance in the state. He was also the state education minister for a brief stint.

His entry to the BJP fold, expected to help the saffron brigade to mobile Dalit votes in its favour in the state as Mahesh has sizeable support based across the state.
