Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLA T Prakash Goud will soon join the Congress party. He met chief minister A Revanth Reddy in this regard.
Goud’s defection to the Congress adds to the long list of leaders who ditched the BRS for the ruling Congress, post the Assembly elections last year.
He secured victory in the assembly seat with 121,734 votes in the Assembly elections, defeating other candidates like Thokala Srinivas Reddy from the Bharatiya Janata Party and Kasturi Narender from the Congress party.
Recently, Bhadrachalam MLA Tellam Venkat Rao, Khairatabad MLA Danam Nagender and Station Ghanpur MLA Kadiyam Srihari joined the grand old party, jumping ship from the BRS.
