Bengaluru, Jan 16: Congress sources on Wednesday confirmed that former minister Ramesh Jarkiholi and Chincholi MLA Umesh Jadhav are likely to join BJP.
“They seem to have committed to jump ship and join the BJP,” said the sources from Congress.
As a countermeasure, at least four BJP legislators are in touch with the Congress-JD(S), they claimed.
Meanwhile there are reports that around 5 Congress MLAs are lodged in Goa. This is apart from three MLAs lodged in Mumbai.
Congress has scheduled its legislature party meeting on January 18 in a bid to keep all its MLAs together.
