Former Congress MLC Raghu Achar joins JD(S) after being denied Congress ticket
Bengaluru: Former Congress member and ex-MLC G Raghu Achar joined the Janata Dal (Secular) on Friday in Bengaluru. The move came after Achar was denied a ticket to contest the upcoming Assembly elections from Chitradurga.
A formal event was held at the JP Bhavan, where Achar was welcomed into the JD(S) by party supremo HD Kumaraswamy and JD(S) State President CM Ibrahim.
Hundreds of Achar’s supporters were also present at the event. The former MLC had expressed his desire to contest from Chitradurga, but the Congress had chosen to field KC Veerendra for the polls this year, much to Achar’s disappointment.
With his induction into the JD(S), Achar will be hoping to revive his political career and make a mark in the upcoming elections.
