Daijiworld Media Network –Mangaluru (SB)

Mangaluru, Jul 22: Former Dakshina Kannada BJP MP and union minister V Dhananjay Kumar will join congress soon, it is gathered.

Speaking exclusively to Daijiworld, Dhananjay said "I met Rahul Gandhi yesterday and he has given the green signal for my entry into Congress party. He assured me all support and told the state leadership about this. Within a day or two, Congress state chief G Parameshwar will announce this with giving me the membership in Congress. It is my pleasure to join Indian National Congress (INC) which is the party of the common people. Congress is the party which gave us freedom from colonial rule,"

“The Congress leaders and members from Dakshina Kannada are in favour to my entry into the party.  I do not have any intentions of grabbing big posts in the party or any plans to secure ticker for election. But if the party high command and party members encourage me to hold any post, I shall oblige. After getting the membership, I will visit Mangaluru and meet Congress leaders and members,” Dhananjay added.

Dhananjay Kumar began his political career in the youth wing of BJP. He became MLA in 1983. In 1991, he was elected to the Lob Sabha as MP after defeating the Congress stalwart B Janardhana Poojary. He represented Dakshina Kannada for four successive terms and also served as union minister. He was cabinet minister for civil aviation and tourism in 1996, union minister of state for finance during 1999-2000 and union minister of state for textiles from 2000 to 2003.

He was the founding member of KJP. He joined JD(S) in 2014, but came back to BJP later.

    Congress should be very careful of this opportunist. He is a spy from other party to destroy Congress in Karnataka. Inducting such crooks in the party is a disaster. There should be a strict regulation/control NOT to allow monkey to jump from tree to tree as and when they are pleased to do so.

    There is no credibility left with any politician. Ofcourse, there may be very few but they play a lesser role as, I am sure, they cannot stand the most corrupt political scenario in India.
    Can Congress trust this man? I read the article twice but could not find a word, why he is leaving BJP? I think, this man needs to be watched. I will not be surprised if he turns out to be a mole planted by the most corrupt party in the world - BJP (I am not saying it, BBC has declared BJP as the 4th most corrupt party in the world but I am also surprised not to find Congress name anywhere in that list.)

    Since May 2014 there is lot of strategy to ruin India by BJP and they require only 5 years upto 2019 to completely destroy India. Congress took 65 years but BJP will take only 5 years. Like the Britishers there was a Quit India Movement we need to have a Quit India Movement to throw out BJP and it will happen mark my words. You criminal minded person who protect cows to destroy human beings are not fit to live on this earth.

    Yes, because we have some states which is still ruled by Congress. if BJP comes to power in all the states then it would not even take 5 five years to develop. You poisonous criminal people still exists than we need to have some more strategies.
