About 500 Congress leaders and workers from Dubbaka joined the TRS protesting the Dubbaka Assembly constituency ticket being denied to Cheruku Muthyam Reddy.
About 500 Congress leaders and followers of former MLA and senior Congress leader Cheruku Muthyam Reddy from Dubbaka today joined the ruling TRS' fold in the presence of caretaker minister T Harish Rao, who offered them the traditional pink shawl and officially welcomed them.
This move follows the resignation by a miffed Reddy from the Congress and joining the TRS.
Reddy, who failed to get the Dubbka Assembly constituency ticket from the Congress, accused the Telangana Congress leadership of denying him the ticket as he did not have money to buy it.
