The exodus of BRS MLAs to Congress in Telangana continued on Sunday when another legislator joined the ruling party. Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLA Dr. M. Sanjay Kumar met with Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy officially joined the Congress.
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, who also serves as the state unit President, welcomed Sanjay into the party. Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy, former minister Sudershan Reddy, and Chief Minister’s advisor Vem Narender Reddy attended the event.
Sanjay, re-elected for a second term from the Jagtial Assembly constituency in Nizamabad district in November 2023, is the fifth BRS MLA to switch to Congress since it took power in December last year.
This defection follows the recent move of senior leader and former Assembly Speaker Pocharam Srinivas Reddy to the Congress just two days ago.
