Mangalore, Jul 11: At a time when high powered defections have rocked the Congress and the JD (S) alike at the state level, BJP state president D V Sadananda Gowda has dropped a bombshell by claiming that defections will soon take place in Dakshina Kannada (DK) district. He revealed that many prominent leaders in the district have already expressed their willingness to join the BJP.
One can recall that already five MLAs from the Congress and the JD (S) have recently joined the BJP in the state, a development that has hit the headlines of even national dailies. The statement of D V Sadananda Gowda has succeeded in arousing curiosity among the political analysts here. However, Gowda is yet to reveal any of the names of people he is sure of roping in.
Meanwhile, DK has four MLAs each from both the BJP and the Congress, but it's not yet clear as to who have made up their minds to join the BJP.
Sources say, that the BJP has been in touch with leaders of Moodbidri and Beltangady legislative assembly constituencies. However, it appears that these leaders have put forth huge demands before the BJP leaders. Hence, the defection has been delayed in DK, sources have opined.
