Telangana Congress, which saw defections to the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) all these years, successfully attracted the Mancherial Zilla Parishad chairperson of the TRS, Nallala Bhagyalakshmi and her husband and three-time MLA, Nallala Odelu into its fold.
Both of them joined the Congress in New Delhi in the presence of AICC general secretary, Priyanka Gandhi. TPCC chief, A. Revanth Reddy and former Deputy Chief Minister, Damodar Rajanarsimha were also present.
The political development is interesting given the fact that a sitting Zilla Parishad Chairperson of the ruling TRS has joined the Congress though she still had a two-year tenure. She followed her husband and former MLA from Chennur constituency, Nallala Odelu, who decided to quit the party apparently owing to differences with the sitting MLA, Balka Suman.
