Hassan:Former minister A Manju’s entry into the saffron party has not gone down well with the BJP Hassan district unit. A day after Manju announced his entry into the BJP, party district unit president Yoga Ramesh met Congress leader, former CM Siddaramaiah at his city residence.
It can be recalled that Yoga Ramesh contested against A Manju at Arkalgod assembly constituency in the assembly election May 2018. Immediately after A Manju announced his decision to join the BJP, Yoga Ramesh described him as ‘rotten rice’.
Yoga Ramesh’s decision is expected to create tension in the BJP district unit as several of his supporters are expected to follow him.
