Won't join Congress, will work for Karnataka BJP's purification: Former CM Sadananda Gowda

Former Karnataka chief minister and sitting MP D V Sadananda Gowda on Tuesday, who is upset with the BJP, said he is not quitting the saffron party to join the Congress, and would work towards “purification” of the party’s state unit.

Alleging “Pariwarwad” in the Karnataka BJP, without taking any names, the former union minister said those who have taken the responsibility of the party in the state have become “selfish”.

The 71-year-old leader is “upset” over being denied the ticket to contest again in the Lok Sabha polls from Bangalore North.
