Joined Congress due to BJP’s ill-treatment, says Shettar

Former BJP leader Jagadish Shettar met Rahul Gandhi on Sunday for the first time after joining Congress party and said that he became a part of the grand old party because of the “ill-treatment” advocated by the BJP.
After meeting Congressman Rahul Gandhi, Shettar said, “This was my first meeting with Rahul Gandhi, and we discussed so many issues.” “I came to join Congress because everyone knows the ill-treatment given by the BJP. So, I have shifted to another national party. Rahul Gandhi is the leader of that party. So, I discussed many things,” Shettar told the media.
Jagadish Shettar alleged on Thursday that “some people with vested interests are controlling” the BJP government in Karnataka.
Shettar said, “The BJP government has completed five years in Karnataka. People are talking about the ill-treatment of seniors but not about other issues like development. Some people with vested interests are controlling the entire BJP in Karnataka.
