The BRS is seeking to check the influence of Congress, which is currently riding high following its successful showing in the Karnataka elections, prompting disgruntled leaders of not only the BRS but also the BJP to approach the party.
The BRS leadership, at a time of national expansion and Lok Sabha polls soon after the state Assembly polls, does not wish to be pushed into a defensive mode.
There is a talk that two MLCs and some key leaders were being lured by Congress Chief Revanth Reddy. KCR has alerted KTR and Harish to look into the issue of exodus and see that those leaders looking at Congress will change their minds.
The BRS leaders who were promised MLC posts and nominated posts are now threatening to quit BRS and join the Congress with the assurance of MLA seats.
The BRS needs to do something for stopping the disgruntled elements from going to Congress. The Congress leaders are in an upbeat mode and planning for the showdown in Khammam in the coming days.
Revanth, Jupally and Ponguleti will be meeting Rahul, Sonia and Kharge in Delhi before the Khammam meeting.
