MLA Bandla Krishnamohan Reddy somersaults again

Hyderabad: Taking another U-turn, BRS MLA Bandla Krishnamohan Reddy on Friday met Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and expressed his desire to continue in the Congress party.

Krishna Mohan Reddy, who had quit Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and joined the Congress party last month, had called on BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Tuesday and announced his return to the BRS.

On Friday, Krishnamohan Reddy along with Excise and Tourism Minister Jupally Krishna Rao met the Chief Minister at his residence. They left together for the Assembly to attend the session.

The MLA’s meeting came with the Chief Minister a day after the Excise Minister met him and convinced him to continue in the ruling party.

Krishnamohan Reddy represents the Gadwal constituency in the undivided Mahabubnagar district. Both the Chief Minister and Excise Minister also come from the same district. On Tuesday, the Gadwal MLA met Rama Rao in the Assembly and expressed his wish to return to the BRS.

The MLA was reportedly unhappy over some Congress leaders in the constituency opposing his entry into the party. He also said to have conveyed to the Minister that the government had to take steps for the development of his constituency as he had convinced his supporters that he had joined the Congress for the development of the constituency.
