An indication to this effect was available as Munde has not met any BJP central leaders especially L K Advani after his arrival in New Delhi on Tuesday night from Mumbai.
"Munde appears to have made up his mind to go to Congress," conceded a senior BJP leader who declined to be named.The Maharashtra Chief Minister, who is in New Delhi apparently to give an assessment to the party high command on the Munde issue, met Patel late on Monday night.
Gadkari was junior to Munde in state politics and after he took over as the national president, Munde's clout has gone down in the organisation.
Meanwhile, Union Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh, who is known to be close to Munde, has also arrived in Delhi to be at hand for possible consultations.
Former Chief Minister Ashok Chavan, who like Munde hails from Marathwada region, met with Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Monday.
