Karnataka minister and Congress heavyweight D K Shivakumar Wednesday appealed to aggrieved BJP workers in Channapatna to join the Congress party.

His appeal comes a day after Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister G Parameshwara accused the BJP of making a fresh bid to topple the Congress-JDS coalition government in the state.

As the war of words between the BJP and Congress over the alleged toppling game intensified, Parameshwara Tuesday claimed that efforts were on to arrange a meeting of his party's disgruntled MLAs with BJP president Amit Shah.

Parameshwara also asserted that the BJP move would not succeed.

In a press release, Shivakumar, who is also the Ramanagardistrict in-charge minister, Wednesday said some BJP workers were upsetover the way the BJP's top functionaries were behaving to"fulfil their vested interests."
