Karnataka BJP President BS Yeddyurappa today claimed that veteran Congress leader SM Krishna will join the BJP soon.
"SM Krishna has decided to join BJP. We don't know when for certain, we'll fix that soon. But he is joining 100 per cent," Yeddyurappa said.
84-year-old SM Krishna, former Karnataka Chief Minister, quit the Congress last week alleging that he was being sidelined in the party because of his age.
"What pained me was how the Congress sidelined a loyal worker and cited my age for sidelining me," the former Karnataka chief minister said.
He also alleged that Congress no longer needed mass leaders and it wanted only managers.
Krishna, who also served as India’s External Affairs Minister in the past, said that his decision to quit the party was a "closed chapter".
