Will BJP admit RRR into the party?

Will renegade YSRCP MP from Bhimavaram Raghuramakrishnam Raju join the BJP soon? Those who tracked Amit Shah's meeting with the BJP leaders in AP have felt that Raghurama might soon join the BjP. Raghurama has been attacking YS Jagan left right and centre. So, he could be an asset to the party, felt many. In fact, Amit Shah reportedly suggested to the party leaders that Raghurama should be taken into the party. But has be given a thought to the proposal himself?
There is a major issue here. RRR's fight is basically from Delhi. He has been staying in Delhi and has been issuing statement after statement. It has been almost a year that he has visited his own constituency of Bhimavaram. A hostile reception awaits him whenever he visits Bhimavaram. His fight is confined to mere statements. He has not organised even a single meeting anywhere in Andhra Pradesh. How can the party depend on such an absentee MP to contain YS Jagan?
Interestingly, the provisions of the anti-defection law would apply on RRR if he joins the BJP. The other alternative is that he has to resign and go in for a bypoll. It is highly unlikely that he would win the elections. That being the case, what is the use of having an MP like RRR in one's party?
There is another aspect to the whole issue. Will RRR abide by the party discipline? He has not abided by the party discipline while in the YSRCP. Will he abide by the party discipline in the BJP? Or will he become a headache to the BJP just as he had become a headache for the YSRCP? One only hopes Amit Shah has taken all these into account before talking about admitting RRR into the BJP.
