Former Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka, Laxman Savadi, has joined the Congress party ahead of the upcoming state elections, leaving the BJP behind. The elections are scheduled for May 10 and the rivalry between BJP and Congress is fierce. Congress released its candidate list before BJP, causing some upheaval as many who were hoping to run under the party were not selected, including 18 current MLAs. As a result, disgruntled members raised their voices in protest, causing Savadi to make the switch to Congress. With the elections looming, Congress sees this move as a boost to their campaign. Meanwhile, BJP’s state president, Arun Singh, remains unfazed by Savadi’s departure, stating that he will soon realize the truth about Congress. Polling for all 224 constituencies in Karnataka will take place on May 10, with results announced on May 13.
