Former Karnataka Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar joined Congress today in the presence of party president Mallikarjun Kharge. The Congress took a swipe at the BJP over former Karnataka Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar crossing over to it ahead of the May 10 Assembly elections, claiming the ruling party is "falling like a house of cards". Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai however said the former Karnataka chief minister would be used and later thrown out by Congress.
