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.

Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
