Seventh BRS MLA joins Congress

The Hindu  

Defections from the Bharat Rashtra Samiti continued on Saturday with Gadwal MLA, Bandla Krishnamohan Reddy joining Congress in the presence of Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy at his residence in Hyderabad. So far six BRS MLAs left the party and they include Kadiyam Srihari,Danam Nagender, Tellam Venkat Rao, Pocharam Srinivas Reddy, Sanjay Kumar and Kale Yadaiah. Mr. Krishnamohan Reddy’s entry was in the news for the last few days as the local Congress leaders opposed his entry, particularly the former Zilla Parishad chairperson Saritha, who unsuccessfully contested against him in the last Assembly elections and lost narrowly. Ms. Saritha joined the Congress just before the elections from the BRS for a better political career and was a supporter of Mr. Krishnamohan Reddy. Mr. Krishnamohan Reddy is a nephew of Mahbubnagar MP from the Bharatiya Janata Party, DK Aruna, and in fact defeated her in the 2018 Assembly elections when she was in the Congress party.
