"BJP workers used to Ask Me...": Jagadish Shettar After Rejoining Party

He said one of the main reasons for his return to the BJP is to contribute towards making Narendra Modi prime minister once again.

Former Karnataka Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar on Saturday said the process to bring him back to the BJP had been on for the last five to six months, as he gave large credit to state president B Y Vijayendra and veteran leader B S Yediyurappa.

He said one of the main reasons for his return to the BJP is to contribute towards making Narendra Modi prime minister once again, and that he will work towards ensuring that the party wins most of the seats in the state in the coming Lok Sabha polls.

Mr Shettar rejoined the BJP by quitting Congress in New Delhi on Thursday.
