"Former Karnataka Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar's Return to BJP: A Twist in Political Alliances

In a surprising turn of events, former Karnataka Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar has once again switched his political allegiance, bidding farewell to the Congress party and returning to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This move comes as another setback for the Congress, which is already grappling with challenges in various states.

The veteran politician, aged 67, had initially joined the Congress just last year ahead of the Karnataka assembly elections, leaving the BJP. However, his return to the BJP was marked by a formal ceremony in the presence of senior party leaders, including former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa and state party chief BY Vijayendra.

Jagadish Shettar's political journey has been characterized by ups and downs. He belongs to the influential Lingayat community and has been a six-time Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA). His political career took a significant turn when he served as the Chief Minister of Karnataka for a period of 10 months between 2012 and 2013.

The twist in Shettar's political affiliation occurred in April of the previous year when he parted ways with the BJP after being denied a ticket. The Congress party welcomed him and fielded him as a candidate in the Hubli-Dharwad Central assembly constituency, a seat he had previously held during his tenure with the BJP.

Unfortunately for Shettar, the electoral outcome did not favor him, as he faced a substantial defeat at the hands of BJP's Mahesh Tenginakai. Despite the setback, the Congress had entrusted him with representing the party in a crucial constituency.

Jagadish Shettar's return to the BJP raises questions about the dynamics of political loyalties and the role of regional leaders in shaping party alliances. As a seasoned politician, Shettar's influence within the Lingayat community could potentially impact the political landscape in Karnataka.

Shettar's political career traces back to the 1980s, and he has held various key positions within the BJP, including state president and leader of the opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly. His experience and leadership have made him a significant figure in Karnataka politics, contributing to the ongoing political realignment in the state.

The timing of Shettar's return is noteworthy, considering the recent announcements by Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) regarding their decision to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Karnataka independently. The political scenario in the state seems to be undergoing a transformation, with regional leaders making strategic decisions to secure their political future.

For the Congress, Shettar's departure is a setback that adds to the challenges the party is facing across the country. The BJP, on the other hand, sees this return as a strengthening of its position, especially in the context of the Lingayat community's political dynamics.

In conclusion, Jagadish Shettar's journey from the BJP to the Congress and back to the BJP underscores the fluidity of political alliances and the importance of regional leaders in shaping the political narrative. As Karnataka gears up for future elections, Shettar's return adds a new dimension to the unfolding political drama, leaving political observers and the electorate eager to see how these developments will shape the state's political landscape in the coming months.

via Today Bharat In a surprise development, former joint director of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), V.V. Lakshminarayana is likely to join the Telugu Desam in a day or two. He is likely to be fielded from one of the Assembly segments in Visakhapatnam district, most probably Bheemili. Mr Lakshminarayana had made his intention to join politics known a long time ago. In fact, he had planned to launch a political party on his own and has toured the state extensively over the last few months. TD chief K. Chandrababu Naidu has finalised candidates for almost all the seats in the district except for Vizag north, Bheemili and the Vizag Lok Sabha seat, lending credence to speculation that Mr Lakshminrayana will join the party. The calculation is that Mr Lakshminarayana will be fielded from Bheemili and the sitting MLA and minister, Ganta Srinivas Rao, will be given the Vizag Lok Sabha seat and IT minister Nara Lokesh will be fielded from the Vizag north segment. He was also offered to lead the Lok Satta party. However, in the last few months, he has been helping farmers by floating an organisation called Join For Development. While in the CBI, Mr Lakshminarayana handled some high-profile cases in the erstwhile combined state of Andhra Pradesh, such as the Satyam fraud, YSRC chief Jagan Mohan Reddyrsquo;s quid pro quo case and the Obulapuram mining scam. It will be interesting to see how the political fight develops as YSRC chief Jagan Mohan Reddyrsquo;s quid pro quo case is being investigated by the CBI and he had been interrogated in the case by Mr Lakshminarayana earlier. nbsp; The TD wants to cash in on Mr Lakshminarayanarsquo;s image of a tough cop and his intolerance of corruption. Mr Naidu may use him extensively to campaign for the party across the state. Over the past few months, Mr Lakshminarayana has toured villages across the 13 districts and interacted with varied sections of the people, especially farmers and fishermen. He is critical of the state of farming and farmers in AP. He said he would prepare a peoplersquo;s manifesto based on the feedback and experiences of his state-wide tour. A 1990 batch Maharashtra cadre IPS officer, Mr Lakshminarayana was additional director general of police in Mumbai before he took voluntary retirement last year.
