Jagdish Shettar, who had been granted a significant position by the Congress party despite a 35,000-vote loss in the last Vidhan Sabha elections, has returned to the BJP.
Addressing presspersons after the 75th Republic Day function at Mahatma Gandhi Maidan in Ajjarkad on Friday, Minister Hebbalkar mentioned the dedicated efforts of local Congress workers who had tirelessly supported Shettar. However, she admitted to being unaware of the reasons behind Shettar’s departure from the Congress and called on him to explain.
Contrary to Shettar’s move, Belagavi district MLA Laxman Savadi affirmed his commitment to the Congress party, citing concerns about his self-respect in the BJP as the reason for joining the Congress. Minister Hebbalkar unequivocally stated that Savadi will remain with the party.
