‘Rebel’ Congress MLA Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy announced that he would soon join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after taking legal opinion on changing the party.
At a press conference in New Delhi, the Munugode MLA admitted that he had met BJP leader Ram Madhav twice to discuss the modalities of joining. He said his decision was based on his firm belief that only BJP can put an end to the ‘corrupt’ rule of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) in Telangana.
Congress has no future, he claimed, neither in the State nor at the national-level and the BJP was sure to win the 2024 elections too. Congress cannot come back even after 20 years and there was no point in staying in the party. “If I want to serve the people who have elected me and fulfil their aspirations the only option is the BJP,” he claimed.
