BRS leaders in Hyderabad sent disqualification petitions against party MLAs Pocharam Srinivas Reddy and Dr. Sanjay through speed post. They were unable to get an appointment with the opposition party, so they decided to send the petitions through mail. MLA Jagdish Reddy stated that both MLAs won on the B form of the party and joining Congress was illegal.
The BRS leaders alleged that the Congress Party was encouraging defections, despite mentioning in their manifesto that such actions would lead to disqualification. They also claimed that during their party rule, Congress MLAs willingly joined BRS by merging two-thirds of the MLAs.
In response to the potential switch of party MLA Gudem Mahipal Reddy to Congress, Jagadish Reddy expressed concerns about Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy’s actions, questioning if he would meet with the MLA in Delhi.
