BRS party is currently undergoing a crisis in Telangana state. The party faced a humiliating defeat in the Parliament elections and secured zero seats. It was the first time that the party lost representation in Parliament. Meanwhile, the party is restricted to opposition status in the state. Now, in a big jolt, 6 MLCs from the party joined Congress.
In a surprise midnight development, 6 MLCs from the BRS party switched loyalties to Congress in the presence of chief minister A Revanth Reddy at his residence in Hyderabad. It is not expected from anyone and also comes as a big shock to the party.
The BRS suffered a big blow with the defection of MLCs Dande Vittal, Bhanu Prasad, B. Dayanand, Prabhakar Rao, Egge Mallesham, and Basavaraju Saraiah.
With the latest addition of these 6 MLCs from Congress, the party now has a strength of 12 in the Legislative Council. We have to see how KCR will counter attack this poaching.
