Earlier today, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president Dinesh Gundu Rao said that nearly all turncoats who have joined the BJP have lost in the polls.

Alpesh Thakor, former Congress MLA from the constituency, had switched over to the BJP in July earlier this year. He had resigned as Congress MLA after he cross-voted for the BJP in the Rajya Sabha bye-elections on July 5. (ANI)
