Praveen Kumar clears the air again, says he has no plans to jump ship

Former IPS officer and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) candidate for Nagarkurnool Lok Sabha seat R. S. Praveen Kumar has reiterated that he is not one among the flock of sheep that will migrate to the Congress or Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of Parliamentary elections.

Taking to a social media platform late on Friday night, following the decision of BRS senior leaders K. Keshava Rao and Kadiyam Srihari to leave the party and join the Congress, he said several activists had asked him to choose the “good path” taken by the duo while some had suggested him to stay with the party at the present junture.

Asking his well-wishers, followers and BRS ranks not to get worried, Mr. Praveen Kumar said he will not follow the blind flock and had no thoughts of going anywhere. He reiterated that he would stick to his decision of joining the BRS after being forced to end the BSP-BRS alliance in spite of all sorts of “temptations, lures and offers”.
