The Congress has charged TRS president and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao with subverting the Constitution by encouraging defections from the opposition parties.
Senior leader and Congress MP A. Revanth Reddy accused the TRS president of following his own rules and procedures, setting aside the Constitution. The Congress had therefore taken to the agitational path in protest against Mr. Rao’s moves to encourage defections, he said.
Mr. Revanth Reddy was speaking at the indefinite hunger strike camp near Indira Park here of Congress Legislature Party leader Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka against the defection of twelve Congress MLAs to TRS through “unconstitutional means”. Congress activists kept visiting Mr. Bhatti Vikramarka throughout the day.
