Former Bhatkal MLA J. D Naik makes a ‘Ghar-wapsi’ to Congress
Bengaluru: In a latest development of the state politics, former Congress leader and two times Bhatkal MLA J. D Naik, on Wednesday returned back to his old camp of Congress, after nearly spending two years in BJP.
The former MLA had joined BJP in 2017, citing lack of importance being given in the Congress, after he lost the 2014 elections to independent candidate Mankal Vaidya, who later joined the party.
J D Naik and claimed that Mankal Vaidya had started dictating terms in party’s Bhatkal affairs.
He was also expecting ticket in assembly elections from Saffron Party, and hence, after meeting BJP MP Anant Kumar Hegde, a couple of time, he had joined BJP.
However, he was deprived of the ticket in the Saffron party as well, as Sunil Naik contested the assembly election on BJP ticket and also won the seat.
In a bid to revive his political career, which seems to be heading towards twilight, the veteran leader has once again made his way back in to the Congress.
He joined Congress at its head office, in presence of KPCC President Dinesh Gundu Rao, Revenue Minister and District In-Charge Minister of Uttara Kannada District RV Deshpande and other leaders.
Speculations were rife about the possible home coming of Naik, after he was seen with RV Deshpande earlier last month during the latter’s visit to Bhatkal.
It will now be interesting to see where this move takes the political career of J. D. Naik.
