Former Speaker and MLA Pocharam Srinivas Reddy’s decision to switch allegiance from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) to the Congress marks a significant political shift in Telangana. Citing Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s pro-farmer policies as a decisive factor, Reddy emphasized his return to the Congress fold after a tenure with BRS (formerly TRS).
His move underscores growing discontent within BRS ranks, with reports suggesting up to 20 MLAs could follow suit, further bolstering Congress’s presence in the state. With seasoned politicians like Reddy joining, Congress aims to revitalize its influence, positioning itself as a formidable alternative to BRS. Speculations abound regarding Reddy’s potential inclusion in the state Cabinet, reflecting his seniority and political acumen in Telangana’s landscape.
