In a significant development, BRS MP Ranjith Reddy has taken the decision to resign from his party position, marking another setback for the Bharat Rashtra Samiti. Reddy has opted to align himself with the Congress and is set to vie for the Chevella Lok Sabha seat under its banner. Joining him in this transition is fellow BRS MP Danam Nagendra, who has also made the move to the Congress camp.
The formal induction ceremony into the Congress fold occurred in the presence of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and AICC Incharge Deepadas Munshi, highlighting the political ramifications of these defections.
Reddy attributed his departure from the BRS to the evolving political landscape, characterizing it as a challenging yet necessary decision. He expressed his gratitude to the BRS for the opportunities afforded to him and the support extended during his tenure representing the Chevella constituency.
This move by Ranjith Reddy underscores a broader trend within the BRS, as he joins the ranks of other MPs who have recently departed the party, including BB Patil and Pothuganti Ramulu, both of whom crossed over to the BJP. Pasunoori Dayakar, MP for Warangal, similarly severed ties with the BRS to align himself with the Congress. These defections come amidst a wave of exits from the BRS in light of the arrest of BRS MLC K Kavitha in connection with the Delhi liquor policy case.
The political landscape in Telangana has witnessed a significant shift following the victory of the Congress over the BRS in the Assembly elections. Former ministers and MLAs have opted to abandon the BRS in favor of joining the ruling party, signaling a seismic realignment within the state's political arena.
