Badangpet Mayor, Corporators Join Congress

Badangpet Municipal Corporation Mayor Parijatha Narasimha Reddy, 20th division Corporator Sudarshan Reddy and 23rd division Corporator Srinivas Reddy joined the Congress today in the presence of Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi.

Gandhi welcomed the trio into the party fold.

TPCC chief Revanth Reddy, CLP leader Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, and AICC secretary and former MLA of the party Ch Vamshichand Reddy were also present.

Speaking on the occasion, Revanth Reddy alleged that the ruling TRS had failed to solve the public problems in the towns, and was not providing even basic amenities.

He said that the local leaders were being forced to do the rounds of the TRS leaders to get even small problems solved, and that this was leading to several TRS leaders leaving the ruling party as they were not able to solve the public problems despite being a part of the ruling party.

Referring to the promises of the TRS that it would transform Hyderabad into a global city, he said that the State capital was getting inundated by even minor rains in the party's rule.

Mayor Parijatha Reddy said that although she won as the Congress candidate, she had joined the TRS in order to solve public problems. However, she was finding it difficult to solve even minor public problems, and was completely disappointed with the attitude of the TRS leaders towards her, she said.
