Congress MLA Umesh Jadhav is all set to join BJP, says Ramachandra Jadhav

Chincholi MLA Umesh Jadhav, whose exclusion has been looked for by the Congress under the anti-defection law for avoiding two Legislature Party gatherings, has submitted his resignation to Speaker K.R. Ramesh Kumar on Monday.

“My brother will join the BJP and contest from the Kalaburgi Lok Sabha constituency.” Mr. Ramachandra Jadhav said.

According to the sources,  Mr. Jadhav is enthusiastic about challenging on a BJP ticket against Congress pioneer M. Mallikarjun Kharge, who has never lost a race up until this point.

Chincholi MLA Umesh Jadhav, whose exclusion has been looked for by the Congress under the anti-defection law for avoiding two Legislature Party gatherings, has submitted his resignation to Speaker K.R. Ramesh Kumar on Monday.

Even though Mr. Jadhav, a two-time MLA, had prior asserted that he wouldn’t quit the Congress, his sibling Ramachandra Jadhav confirmed the advancements. “My brother will join the BJP and contest from the Kalaburgi Lok Sabha constituency.” Mr. Ramachandra Jadhav said.

According to the sources,  Mr. Jadhav is enthusiastic about challenging on a BJP ticket against Congress pioneer M. Mallikarjun Kharge, who has never lost a race up until this point. Sources also claimed that factors such as denial of ministerial berth during the Cabinet expansion in December, owing to the alleged interference of Mr. Kharge, and dominance in the district by Social Welfare Minister Priyank Kharge have forced Mr. Jadhav to take a step and distance himself from the party.
