Gadag: As a major setback to the district Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, former legislator Shrishailappa Bidarur has reportedly hinted on joining the Congress party.
According to sources, Bidarur has already had a meeting with the Campaign Committee Chairman of Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC), H K Patil on April 6.
Bidarur was a member of Janata Dal (S) before joining the BJP. Sources close to Bidarur say that he will reunite with Congress leader Siddaramaiah, who was also in JD(S) before joining the Congress party.
Congress leaders of Gadag could give a big shock to the district BJP ahead of the general elections which is just a few days away, by convincing Shrishailappa Bidarur to join Congress.
