In preparation for next year’s key battle in Karnataka, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) yesterday inducted former Karnataka Chief Minister S.M. Krishna, who had quit the Congress in January. Krishna joined the BJP in the presence of the party’s National President Amit Shah.
“I am humbled today that I am joining the party which was led by great leaders. I see a great India emerging under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and ably supported by the party President Amit Shah,” Krishna told reporters. Heaping praises on Modi and Shah, Krishna said that the two leaders “have taken the country to great heights and this is not an exaggeration.”
