Hopping of parties by leaders, particularly those who are denied ticket to contest the ensuing Telangana Assembly elections by the parties they have been associated with so far, is gaining pace as the parties are speeding up the process of selection of candidates and gearing up for launching campaign.
On Wednesday, Ragidi Laxma Reddy of the Congress from Uppal constituency joined Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) at the Medchal public meeting addressed by party chief K. Chandrasekhar Rao. He was one of the strong contenders for the Uppal Congress ticket but was denied the opportunity by the leadership of that party in favour of M. Parameshwar Reddy.
