Cong invites senior BRS MLA Kadiam Srihari to join party

Hyderabad: The ruling Congress in Telangana on Friday invited senior BRS MLA and former deputy chief minister Kadiam Srihari and his daughter Kadiam Kavya to join the party. This came a day after Kadiam Kavya, who was BRS Lok Sabha candidate from Warangal, decided to opt out of the contest. AICC in-charge of party affairs in Telangana Deepa Dasmunsi, PCC senior vice-president Mallu Ravi and other party leaders called on Srihari and Kavya here and invited them to join the party. “Today, we have come here to Kadiam Srihari ji’s house. I am just carrying the party’s request from AICC, just requesting him and inviting him to join the Congress party. It is our request to both Kadiam Srihari ji and Dr Kavya that if they can join our party, Congress, and strengthen our party. This is our request from Congress,” Deepa Dasmunsi told reporters after the meeting. Srihari was cordial to them, she said. “We are waiting for their reply. They will reply very soon,” she said.

Observing that Deepa Dasmunsi and other representatives of both AICC and PCC invited him to join Congress, Srihari said he will take a decision in a day or two.
