BENGALURU: Two days after resigning from the Legislative Council, former Bharatiya Janata Party leader Baburao Chinchansur joined the Congress in the presence of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president D K Shivakumar in Bengaluru on Wednesday.
“Baburao Chinchansur is the tallest leader of the fishermen’s community of Karnataka. He has resigned from the Council and has joined the Congress,” Shivakumar told ANI.
Baburao Chinchansur tendered his resignation on Monday and submitted it to Legislative Council Chairman Basavaraj Horatti, who accepted his resignation.
Chinchansur is a ticket aspirant from the BJP, but was denied an MLA ticket as he was a sitting MLC. (ANI)
