leaving the BJP and rejoin Congress and the rumour was floated by the Congress
which is fearing a debacle in the May 12 Assembly elections in Karnataka, former
Deputy Chief Minister R Ashok said on Tuesday.

politician was touring abroad and he had spoken to him and he had denied any
such reports.

Mr Krishna either in Bengaluru or elsewhere if they wished to contest on a BJP ticket in the coming elections.
