More leaders from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at the central party headquarters in New Delhi on Sunday. The leaders included ex-MPs G. Nagesh from Adilabad, Ajmeera Sitaram Naik from Mahabubabad, former MLAs Jalagam Venkat Rao from Khammam and S. Saidi Reddy from Huzurnagar and Congress leader G. Srinivas from Peddapalli.
National general secretary Tarun Chugh, Rajya Sabha MP K. Laxman and former MLC P. Sudhakar Reddy were present to welcome the leaders into the party by presenting them with membership certificates, shawl and a bouquet.
Mr. Laxman, also the national OBC president, claimed that the spree of leaders joining the saffron party was an indication of the confidence among the people in the party under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It also reflected the plight of the other Opposition parties in Telangana and rest of the southern States.
