SM Krishna to join BJP

Former External Affair Minister SM Krishna, who quit the Congress party last month, is likely to join the BJP very soon. Krishna had a meeting with former Karnataka chief minister BS Yeddyurappa on Monday evening. After the meeting Yeddyurappa told media that Krishna will soon join his party. “He (SM Krishna) is going to join our party as early as possible,” said Yeddyurappa.

The



veteran Congress leader had resigned from the primary membership of the party after being sidelined by the top leadership. Terming his exit from Congress as a “very painful moment,” Krishna had said that the party had treated him in a way which hurt his self-respect and honour. “A situation has now come wherein I have to leave the home in which I resided peacefully for the last 46 years,” he had said
