In a big development in Karnataka politics, giant slayer GT Deve Gowda who defeated sitting CM Siddaramaiah from Chamundeshwari in 2018 is set to join Congress. Interestingly, it is Siddaramaiah who pitched Gowda's name before-party high command after they both patched up during Hunsur by-elections in 2019 December. Speaking to Asianet Newsable, JD(S) MLA GT Deve Gowda said the relationship between him and Siddaramaia is very much intact now.
