Shimoga, June 7: Some of the honest MLAs from Congress and JD(S) have been ignored while expanding the state cabinet. If such unhappy MLAs join BJP, they will have a good future. Everyone is welcome to join the party, said KS Eshwarappa, BJP legislator from Shimoga.
The supporters of those MLAs, who have been left out of the cabinet, have staged protests in the various parts of the state. Supporters of Hosakote Congress MLA MTB Nagaraj protested by ascending an electric tower. Then the police pacified them and brought down.
Meanwhile, dissident leaders of Congress led by Lingayat leader MB Patil held a meeting. Dissidents Satish Jarakiholi, Dr. Sudhakar, and others attended.

Pune, Nov 16: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis continued to raise the pitch on "vote jihad" by playing a video of Islamic scholar Sajjad Nomani at a poll rally in Pune's Bhosari area on Saturday.
It is being said that a person who votes for the BJP must be ostracised, Fadnavis claimed.
"If these people are trying to do vote jihad, if they are saying they will destabilise the government through vote jihad, then you will also have to do dharmayudh of votes," Fadnavis said.
"If these people dream that they will come to power with the help of votes from one community in the land of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, then you will also have to come to the battlefield," he said in a swipe at the MVA.
