Operation Akarsh of Congress begins

The ‘Operation Akarsh’ of the ruling Congress party in Telangana took off minutes before Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy announced that he was opening the ‘gates’ with sitting Chevella MP of the BRS Ranjit Reddy and BRS MLA from Khairatabad Danam Nagender joining the Congress.

They joined in the presence of Mr. Revanth Reddy and AICC Telangana incharge Deepa Dasmunsi. Mr. Nagender met the Chief Minister two days ago and claimed on March 16 that he would not leave the BRS ultimately switched sides.

Chevella MP, Ranjit Reddy, who was expected to leave the BRS also joined the Congress at the same time. Earlier, he sent his resignation to the BRS party chief.
