Several BRS MLAs ready to join Congress, claims TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud

New Indian Express  

HYDERABAD: TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud on Thursday announced that several BRS MLAs were ready to join the Congress and were waiting for an auspicious time to make the switch. Addressing the media at Gandhi Bhavan after welcoming former Adilabad BJP MP Soyam Bapu Rao and former BRS MLA from Asifabad Atram Sakku into the Congress fold, he said that discussions with the BRS MLAs have concluded and they will soon join the party. He stated that these BRS MLAs are against such statements made by the pink party leaders and hence are joining the Congress, which is committed to the state’s development. Reacting to BRS MLAs T Harish Rao and Padi Kaushik Reddy’s arrest, Goud criticised Kaushik’s alleged obstruction of police duties and use of abusive language as unethical and said that the government will not tolerate such.
