Yogeshwara is holding a meeting with his supporters in Channapatna town and told the gathering that he would make a decision on the symbol later. Sources said that the Congress which is inclined to field former MP D.K. Suresh is observing the developments in the BJP and JD-S camps. “The decision to include Yogeshwara in the party can’t be ruled out,” sources said. Meanwhile, Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel H.D. Kumaraswamy said that Siddaramaiah is claiming that they will decide on including Yogeshwara into the Congress party. “The National President J.P.
