Bengaluru: Actor Bhavana, one of the general secretaries of Congress who was disappointed for not getting a party ticket to contest from Chitradurga met BJP State President B S Yeddyurappa at his residence here on May 4.
According to the sources, Bhavana had already spoken with B S Yeddyurappa and BJP State In-charge Muralidhar Rao. It is gathered that she may join BJP anytime.
Bhavana was a Congress ticket aspirant for Chitradurga and when she didn’t get it, she remained neutral from all the party activities. Earlier at an event, Bhavana had expressed her anger when a speaker from her party asked her to stop her speech midway as a mark of respect for “Azaan.”
The decision appeared to have irked the actor-politician. She walked away from the venue without uttering another word. Though Congress leaders haven’t responded to the incident, the actions of Bhavana did not go well with the minorities, who form 15 percent of the population in the state.
