Telangana Rashtra Samiti seems to be delivering back to back blows to the Main Opposition Congress in the run-up to the elections. After dissolving the assembly and announcing 105 candidates, KCR is now encouraging defections from Congress.
The first big wicket to fall in the Congress camp in Telangana is that of former Assembly Speaker KR Suresh Reddy. Minister KTR met him this morning at his residence and invited him to join the TRS Party. Buzz is that he may be sent to the Rajya Sabha in due course of time.
Suresh Reddy was the Speaker of AP Assembly from 2009-2014. He won his first election n 1989 and went on to retain the Balkonda Assembly seat in 1994, 1999 and 2004. He lost the 2009 election to Praja Rajyam Party candidate E.Anil Kumar and shifted to Armoor Assembly constituency in 2014 to lose the elections once again to Jeevan Reddy.
