Jeevan Reddy’s decision was a setback for the Congress in Telangana, which was encouraging defections from other parties.
He wants to resign to the post of MLC.
Already local leaders from Nizamabad have openly raised objections over Banswada BRS MLA Pocharam Srinivas Reddys entry into the party.
The Congress leaders have been claiming many BRS MLAs were evincing interest in joining the party. Considering these objections from within the party, the State leadership is now in a spot of bother.
Jeevan Reddy the senior man in the party said a few decisions concerning my constituency were taken by the State leadership without my knowledge, he said.
“I never bother about personal benefits and have been working hard for the party’s cause all these years he stated.”
The MLC also denied that he was joining other parties. “I have not received any calls from BJP or any other party. I have not taken any such decisions,” Jeevan Reddy said on Tuesday.
