Bengaluru: Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said he was sad that Former Deputy Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Laxman Savadi is joining the Congress Party seeing a political future in that party. The Congress party did not have candidates for more than 60 constituencies because of this they were inducting leaders from other parties.

Speaking to mediapersons he said that it is common that there will be more aspirants in the ruling party. The party workers are with them. The BJP will win the coming Assembly election with a thumping majority. Some of them have quit the party to become MLAs but the BJP workers are with us, he said.

The CM said that the second list of candidates has been already released and the third list will be out soon. I will be filing my nomination papers from Shiggaon om Saturday April 15.
