According to sources, he will join the saffron party at a programme at the party’s office in Bangalore on March 9.
Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa, state unit president of the party, K S Eshwarappa and other leaders will be present on the occasion.
It is said that the party has promised a Cabinet berth to Karadi. But, some BJP leaders said it may be difficult to give him a Cabinet berth and he may be made the chairman of one of the boards or corporations.
Convincing act
Karadi is said to have been convinced to join the party by district incharge Minister Lakshman Savadi, during the latter’s visit to Kushtagi for the district Kannada Sahitya Sammelana.
