Bengaluru: Karnataka BJP president BS Yeddyurappa on Saturday claimed that SM Krishna, who recently resigned from the Congress, will join his party soon.

“SM Krishna has decided to join BJP. We don’t know when for certain, we’ll fix that soon. But he is joining 100 per cent,” Yeddyurappa told reporters.

Ever since Krishna resigned as the external affairs minister in 2012, he has remained a forlorn figure in the Congress. The party did not give him any big responsibility during the 2013 Assembly election too.

Krishna, who began his political career in 1962, has been an MLA, MLC, member of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, served as Union minister, Speaker, deputy chief minister, president of Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee, chief minister and governor.
