In a surprising turn of events, Telangana Congress leader Revanth Reddy has made significant strides in Andhra Pradesh politics by endorsing YSR's daughter Sharmila as the capable leader the state needs. This move comes as Bandla Krishna Mohan Reddy, the MLA from Gadwal, switches loyalties to the Congress, just days after BRS lost six MLCs to the opposition party.
Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh witnessed a heartfelt homage paid by Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on the 75th birth anniversary of Y S Rajasekhara Reddy. This gesture not only honored the late leader but also showcased Revanth Reddy's growing influence in the neighboring state.
Revanth Reddy's unapologetic acceptance of BRS MLAs into the Congress has raised eyebrows, especially since one of the core principles of the party was to avoid such actions. The six MLCs who defected - T Bhanu Prasad Rao, Baswaraj Saraiah, Dande Vittal, M S Prabhakar, Yegge Mallesham, and Boggarapu Dayanand - held a clandestine meeting at a hotel before making the decision.
