In another development, former TRS MP Konda Vishweshwar Reddy, on Thursday, announced that he will join BJP. While addressing the media, he claimed that only BJP can win against the TRS.
"We have seen seen in the last few elections that most anti-KCR votes have been going to BJP. The ruling party's anti-incumbency cannot be seen in Hi-Tec City. One has to go to the villages and bastis to see," Reddy said.
Speaking to ANI, Reddy said, "I decided today that I'll join BJP in Telangana. Once Telangana achieved statehood, we all had great aspirations. We can do wonders with funds for one of the richest states. But what happened is exactly the opposite."
Reddy resigned from Congress last year
