Shushratha Gowda, a doctor from Mysuru, who was among the aspirants for Congress tickets to contest the Mysuru Lok Sabha constituency, has joined the BJP.
Dr. Gowda, who had also participated in the Bharat Jodo padayatra by walking alongside Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in 2022, was appointed as the General Secretary of Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) earlier this month after the party opted to field KPCC spokesperson M. Lakshmana from Mysuru Lok Sabha constituency.
However, Dr. Sushrutha Gowda joined the BJP at the party office in Malleshwaram in Bengaluru on Wednesday in the presence of BJP leader in charge of Karnataka Radha Mohan Agarwal.
