BJP legislator K R Mallikarjunappa is set to resign from the membership of the Legislative Council and the primary membership of the party on Wednesday.
He will join the KJP at a mega convention of the party in the city on Sunday.
Mallikarjunappa plans to contest the Assembly elections from the Chamarajanagar seat on a KJP ticket. He said on Tuesday that he was joining the KJP because Yeddyurappa had taken steps for the development of Chamarajanagar district, during his tenure as the chief minister.
