Exodus continues for Congress: Another senior leader joins BJP in Karnataka
All is not well in the Congress. The exodus has begun and is likely to get worse.
There seems to be no respite for the Congress. A week after S M Krishna, the seniormost leader of the Congress joined the Bharatiya Janata Party, another has followed his footsteps. This time, it is former Member of Parliament M Shivanna has decided to join the saffron party. He has indicated his decision to quit the Congress.

After holding talks with Karnataka BJP chief B S Yeddyurappa, Shivanna has expressed his willingness to join the party. He would join the BJP along with his supporters.
Shivanna decided to join the BJP citing unhappiness with the Congress leadership. He said that veterans in the party were being neglected by the Congress. He said that nothing is right with the Congress today. The Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee neglects senior leaders of the party he said.
He will now campaign for Srinivas Prasad, the Congressman who quit the party to join the BJP. Prasad is the BJP's candidate from Nanjangud which polls in April. Shivanna would also campaign for Niranjan Kumar of the BJP at Gundlupet.
Speaking about the prospects of the BJP in the two by-polls, Shivanna said that the wave is in favour of the BJP. He said that many more Congress leaders are set to join the BJP in Karnataka in the days to come.
