Telangana MLC Kasireddy Narayana Reddy, who recently resigned from the ruling BRS, joined the Congress in New Delhi on Friday, 6 October, in the presence of its national president Mallikarjun Kharge.Another senior BRS leader, Thakur Balaji Singh, also joined the Congress.
This can be seen as a major setback for the ruling party in Telangana.
Both the leaders took the party membership in the presence of Kharge along with many local leaders and workers.
In a post on X (Twitter), the Congress shared pictures of the two leaders joining the party.
“Today, in the presence of Congress President Shri @Kharge, BRS leaders Shri Kasireddy Narayana Reddy & Shri Thakur Balaji Singh, along with 100 current and former elected representatives from the Kalwakurthy Assembly Constituency, Telangana join the Congress Party,” the party said in a post on X.
