The former Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar, who quit the BJP and joined the Congress in Bengaluru on Monday, started his new political innings soon after he was given a grand welcome upon his arrival in Hubballi in the afternoon.

Mr. Shettar also accompanied Member of Legislative Assembly Prasad Abbayya when he filed his nomination papers from Hubballi-Dharwad East Assembly Constituency. Mr. Abbayya is seeking a third term from the constituency.
Mr. Shettar drove to Rambhapuri Kalyanamantapa in Hubballi to seek the blessings of Sri Veerasomeshwara Shivacharya Swami and held a closed door meeting with the seer for some time.
Earlier, speaking to presspersons, Mr. Shettar once again lashed out at those who were responsible for his decision to quit the BJP. He clarified that he will not speak against the party but against those who were damaging the party for their vested interests.
Mentioning that his supporters in the BJP are being suppressed by some party leaders, he said that physically they might be with the BJP but mentally they are with him and that it will not be possible to keep them under their control for long.
He said that he has asked his supporters not to resign from their elected posts.
