Krishna, however, has not given any commitment, although sources say that he may join the party soon. Krishna had quit the Congress in January 2017. He said that he was retiring from active politics and said that he was not renewing his All India Congress Committee membership.

There was speculation in January itself that Krishna may join the BJP. It was also said that he was likely to meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in February. Yeddyurappa has held several meetings with Krishna since the latter quit the Congress. On Monday, Yeddyurappa along with former Karnataka minister R Ashok met with Krishna at his residence in Sadashivnagar, Bengaluru and urged him to join the BJP.
