Former Minister Ch Malla Reddy and his son Bhadra Reddy met Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shiva Kumar in Bengaluru, sparking rumors of a potential party switch. The meeting gained attention as Malla Reddy also sought an appointment with senior party leaders like Priyanka Gandhi, indicating a possible change in loyalties.
The photo of Malla Reddy and his son meeting DKS in Bengaluru went viral on social media. This meeting is significant as the father and son had recently met CM A Revanth Reddy’s adviser Vem Narender Reddy, with sources suggesting that they are paving the way for a ticket for his son from Malkajgiri Lok Sabha segment.
Last week, after meeting Vem Narender Reddy, Malla Reddy had assured party supremo K Chandrashekar Rao that he had no plans to change parties and would remain with BRS. Despite reports suggesting otherwise, he clarified that the meeting with Shiva Kumar was related to a business issue. He emphasized his commitment to BRS for the next five years and stated that he would not contest in the upcoming elections.
In a surprising turn of events, former MLA Aroori Ramesh traveled to Delhi and is expected to join the BJP in the presence of senior leaders. Sources indicated that he was displeased with the treatment he received from his current party. The situation escalated when he was taken to KCR’s house amid rumors of his potential switch to the BJP.
