Telangana BJP has formally welcomed the just-resigned Congress MLA K. Raj Gopal Reddy into its party fold claiming that the latter had quit for the sake of people of his Munugode constituency, for “self-respect and “unable to bear humiliation” any more.
Former minister Eatala Rajender and chairman of the party’s reception committee claimed that Mr. Reddy could have become a minister in the TRS regime yet decided to fight against the government, despite being denied clearance of bills of the infrastructure works done by his firm and cancellation of contracts “with no support forthcoming from his own party”.
“Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao ignored his plea for funds for development and he could have continued as MLA but quit for the sake of his people,” he affirmed and expressed the hope that the Huzurabad victory would be replicated here too. The BJP leader was confident about “Nalgonda people being happy over the resignation of the MLA as it is a harbinger of a new dawn with the TRS government likely to shower goodies in the form of insurance for weavers, Dalit Bandhu and others”.
