In yet another political development that is likely to impact politics in undivided Mahabubnagar district, ruling party MLC K. Damodar Reddy met Telangana Congress vice president Mallu Ravi at his residence and indicated that he may join the party.
The sitting MLC, who has more than four years of the term, is unhappy with the BRS leadership in the Nagarkurnool constituency and also in the combined Mahbubnagar district as the sitting MLAs are not taking them along in the party programmes. Mr. Reddy, who was a Congress MLC, joined the BRS and later was renominated.
After meeting Mr. Mallu Ravi, he revealed that he may resign from the BRS and also as MLC if he had to join the Congress party. However, Mr. Damodar Reddy faces another problem with senior leader and former minister Nagam Janardhan Reddy, who is also eyeing Nagarkurnool seat. Party, however, is hopeful of rapprochement.
