Bidar: Shivakumar Deshpande, a prominent BJP leader from Bidar South Assembly constituency, joined the JD (S) on the insistence of JD (S) workers for a few days and has again rejoined the party under the leadership of youth leader Santosh Beldale, Virashetti Moolage and Anil Kumar.
After welcoming Shivakumar Deshpande with a shawl and the party flag, youth leader Santosh Beldale said, “It is a matter of shame that other party workers in the Constituency are forcibly joining our party workers even though they do not want to join another party out of fear of defeat.”
“We welcome those who come to our party as the BJP is like sea and at present hundreds of workers under the leadership of Dr. Shailendra Beldale are leaving the Congress and JD (S) and joining the BJP every day,” he noted.
