BJP to admit rebel leaders of other parties

Bangalore, Apr 20 (UNI) The BJP is preparing to woo rebel leaders of other parties.

Defending his party's decision, BJP State president D V Sadananda Gowda said ''in the present scenario, when political polarisation is taking place there is nothing wrong in accommodating those leaders of other parties who were denied tickets despite having winning chances.'' To a question, he said there may be some changes made in the list announced to accommodate the rebel leaders.

''We may make some changes to the list already announced for the next month's elections. However, it is all subject to approval from the party High Command.'' He said the Party would release its election manifesto tomorrow besides the fourth list.
