Hassan: Former minister and Congress leader A Manju said that anything could happen in politics, hinting that he is more likely to join BJP soon.

Addressing presspersons here on Monday, March 11 he said that he wants to contest the Lok Sabha election from Hassan constituency but due to seat sharing formula the Hassan constituency is more likely to go to JDS. Therefore if  BJP is willing to give him tickets he will be joining BJP.

He further added that he has already discussed the issue with state BJP leaders. He respects the wishes of District Congress workers, who are reportedly frustrated ever since the Congress and JD(S) decided to join hands and form the government in the state.  

” I will never support the candidature of Prajwal Revanna from Hassan,” he added.
