In an interesting twist to the ongoing spree of defections from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi into the Congress, an MLA who shifted loyalties from the opposition to the ruling party made a “ghar wapsi.”
Gadwal MLA Bandla Krishna Mohan Reddy on Tuesday returned to the BRS party after a brief stint with the Congress.
Krishna Mohan Reddy met with BRS Working President K Taraka Rama Rao and other leaders at the BRS Legislature Party office on the assembly premises on Tuesday. He expressed his desire to rejoin the party.
He had joined the Congress party on July 6 in the presence of Chief Minister and TPCC President A Revanth Reddy and other leaders. However, he was reportedly unhappy with the party and regretted his decision.
During his meeting with KTR, Krishna Mohan Reddy requested permission for "Ghar Wapasi" (homecoming), which was accepted.
BRS leaders expressed hope that a majority of the nine other MLAs who had switched loyalties to the ruling Congress would also return to the BRS fold.
Krishna Mohan Reddy was part of a group of former BRS MLAs who made the switch, including Kale Yadaiah (Chevella), Pocharam Srinivas Reddy (Banswada), Sanjay Kumar (Jagtial), Danam Nagendra (Khairatabad), Kadiyan Srihari (Station Ghanpur), and Tellam Venkat Rao (Bhadrachalam).
