Poaching Politics Returns To Karnataka? Congress Planning Operation 'Hasta' During Cabinet Rejig?

Karnataka BJP MLA Basangouda Patil Yatnal has alleged that some sitting ministers who had defected from Congress to BJP in 2020, will rejoin Congress ahead of the next state assembly elections.

Yatnal alleged, "Many MLAs will leave party and go, then you'll say we want Yatnal and Jarkiholi [as ministers]. Many from BJP have already booked tickets in Congress. They went to DK Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah. How will the BJP survive if they continue as ministers?"

Former chief minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah confirmed that few JDS and BJP MLAs are in touch with Congress to make a comeback. Operation Hasta (hand) reportedly refers to the defection of BJP and JDS party members to Congress. All this comes amidst calls for expanding the state cabinet. There are four vacant berths.
