Malkajgiri MLA and erstwhile BRS leader Mynampally Hanumanth Rao is all set to join the Congress.
He will go to New Delhi on September 27 and don the Congress scarf in the presence of former Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
Mynampally said that he would join the Congress in the presence of Gandhi on the 27th. He also said that he had requested the Congress leadership to give the Malkajgiri and Medak tickets to him and his son respectively, and allot the Medchal ticket to Nakka Prabhakar Goud.
He said that the Congress leaders promised to give the tickets to him based on what their surveys said.
Sounding quite upbeat about his decision, Mynampally said that even tall leaders of the BRS would be swept away in the Congress' wind this December.
Meanwhile, Congress leaders queued up at Mynampally's residence on Monday to officially invite him into the party.
Senior party leaders Anjan Kumar Yadav and Damodar Raja Narasimha are also expected to meet Mynampally at his residence in Doolapally.
