One of the key followers of Kishan Reddy has joined the BRS. The BJP in Telangana received a big blow with its former Greater Hyderabad president B Venkat Reddy, along with his wife B Padma Venkat Reddy who is the BJP corporator from Baghamberpet joining the BRS party. Venkat Reddy has been with the party for around 40 years and was a follower of BJP state president G Kishan Reddy.<\/p>\n
BJP leaders said Venkat Reddy\u2019s quitting the party comes as a huge perception blow to Kishan Reddy as Venkat Reddy and his wife both are from Amberpet Assembly constituency, which was earlier represented by Kishan Reddy.<\/p>\n
Amberpet is also one of the segments of the Secunderabad Lok Sabha constituency which is currently represented by Kishan Reddy, who is also a Union Minister.<\/p>\n
Venkat Reddy is very close to Bandaru Dattatreya and also Dr Laxman.<\/p>\n
Announcing his decision to quit the party along with his wife, Venkat Reddy said despite working for the party for many years, he did not receive the recognition he deserved.<\/p>\n
There is a chance that more leaders will quit the BJP and join either in Congress or the BRS in the coming days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
