BRS’ cup of woes continue to spill over after one more MP quits, joins Congress

The cup of woes of the Opposition Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) appear to be spilling over continuously ever since the party has been voted out of power in December last with one more sitting MP of the party, this time Dr. G. Ranjith Reddy from Chevella, calling it quits due to changed political circumstances in the State.

He joined the ruling Congress following Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy visiting him in his residence here on Saturday. The quitting of Mr. Ranjith Reddy takes the number of sitting MPs of BRS leaving the party in over a month to 5 out of 9.

The BRS MPs B. Venkatesh Netha (Peddapalli), P. Ramulu (Nagarkurnool), B.B. Patil (Zaheerabad) and P. Dayakar (Warangal) have deserted the party already. Mr. Venkatesh and Mr. Dayakar have joined the Congress, while Mr. Ramulu and Mr. Patil have joined Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
