A day after former Chief Minister and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president K. Chandrasekhar Rao claimed that 20 Congress MLAs were in touch with him, another BRS MLA indicated that he would be joining the Congress soon.
Rajendra Nagar MLA from the BRS, Prakash Goud met Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, before he flew off to Mahabubnagar, and expressed his desire to join the Congress party. Mr. Goud had met Mr. Reddy two months ago but claimed it was a courtesy call and to seek assistance for the development of the constituency.
The ‘defection’ move by Congress is to send a strong message to KCR that if he makes any attempt to lure Congress MLAs, there would be repercussions. Mr. Goud’s meeting with the Chief Minister is likely to open the doors for several other BRS MLAs who are expected to join the Congress soon, sources in the Congress said.
