Udupi: Udupi district BJP president Kuilady Suresh Nayak on Friday said that the final decision over Congress leader Pramod Madhvaraj’s migration to BJP will be taken by the BJP state president.
Addressing a press conference at Hotel Kidiyur here, he said that the party members have mulled over in this regard and have passed on their opinion to the state president.
However, he clarified that the party members will stand with the decision of the state president whatsoever.
Further, he said that there has been no information regarding Karkala Congress leader Muniyalu Udaya Kumar Shetty joining the party (BJP).
“BJP welcomes anyone who believes in the party ideology. Be it Pramod Madhvaraj or anyone else, members make the party powerful when they believe in its ideology,” he said.
When asked whether BJP will turn out to be the new Congress since Congress leaders have been joining the party lately, he said that BJP will never become Congress.
“BJP was founded based on a strong ideology. No leader can grow beyond the confines of this ideology. Our party will never give in to a person or a family,” he added.
Now that the district BJP has green-signaled Madhvaraj’s joining into the party, the 8-year anticipation in this regard has finally come to a close.
There are chances that Madhvaraj will join the party in the presence of senior BJP leaders in Bengaluru, according to BJP sources.

Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.
The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.
The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.
On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.
Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.
It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.
He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.
According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
