Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Friday said he was “saddened” by the decision of former Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi to part ways with the BJP and join the Congress.
“…I’m feeling very sad, we shared a close bond. Sometimes such political situations arise,” Bommai said. “He might have found his political future in the Congress. We will do our job in our party.”.
Rebelling against the BJP denying him the ticket from Athani in Belagavi district, Savadi on Wednesday announced his decision to resign from the primary membership of the party.

Former BJP leader & former Karnataka Deputy CM Laxman Savadi has joined Congress today, said State Congress president DK Shivakumar, in Bengaluru to ANI . Laxman Savadi on April 12 resigned as Legislative Council member & from the primary membership of the BJP after losing the Athani constituency ticket.
