Telangana Hyderabad/UNI: After months of speculation, former TRS MP Konda Vishweshwar Reddy, who quit the Congress last year, joined the BJP at a public meeting held at Parade ground here Sunday evening.
One of India’s richest politicians, the former MP joined the party in the presence of BJP National President JP Nadda, state BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar and Union Ministers Amit Shah and Rajnath Singh.
He won the Lok Sabha elections from Chevella on TRS ticket in 2014 and later, after a tussle with TRS, he quit the TRS before the 2019 elections and joined the Congress.
He contested again from Chevella but lost to the TRS candidate and later resigned from the Congress in Mar 2021.
Konda had earlier claimed that only BJP can win against the TRS.
Konda had declared assets worth Rs 895 crore in his affidavit in 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
