Bengaluru: Confirming that the Congress has sent him feelers, sulking former Karnataka Chief Minister and BJP MP D V Sadananda Gowda on Tuesday said saffron party leaders have also reached out to him and that he will take a decision at an appropriate time.

The 71-year-old former Union Minister, who is upset over being denied the ticket to contest from Bangalore North again, said he has planned to call a press meet on Wednesday to "share everything."

Gowda, who had served as Karnataka BJP President in the past, on Monday said he will share his "inner feelings" soon.

Expressing his displeasure over not getting re-nomination and against some party leaders without taking any names, he said "there is nothing left to say that BJP is a party with a difference in Karnataka."

BJP shifted Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Shobha Karandlaje, who is currently representing Udupi-Chikmagalur Lok Sabha segment, to contest from Bangalore North.

Gowda had earlier announced his decision to retire from electoral politics, but later backtracked.
