Migration of BJP leaders into BRS is increasing. Many BJP leaders are showing interest in embracing the BRS, which has announced candidates in advance and is getting a great response from the people. In this background the State BJP president G Kishan Reddy suffered a setback. BJP’s Bagh Amberpet corporator Padma Venkat Reddy and her husband B Venkat Reddy, who was associated with BJP for 43 years and is the BJP in-charge of Jogulamba Gadwal district joined BRS in the presence of Minister KT Rama Rao and Amberpet MLA Kaleru Venkateshla on Friday.
Minister KTR warmly invited them into the party by covering them with BRS scarf. Similar developments are expected to take place in some other constituencies in the city. Three more corporators who have lost faith in the BJP leadership and some other leaders from Goshamahal are preparing to join BRS soon. Thus the city BJP is upset with these developments taking place in the party.
Before joining the BRS the couple speaking to the media at their residence said in view of some circumstances, they quit BJP to join BRS. Kishan Reddy seems to be the focal point in the latest development. The same thing was said by the couple before the media.
Venkat Reddy hoped of getting an opportunity to contest for Amberpet Assembly after Kishan Reddy went to the Lok Sabha. He recently applied for a ticket from Amberpet constituency. Venkat Reddy alleged that Kishan Reddy is trying to get the party ticket for his wife from Amberpet this time. He questioned why Kishan Reddy’s family has to contest from Amberpet all the time.
