Congress MP Komatireddy Venkat Reddy today reacted on the resignation of his younger brother Komatireddy Raj Gopal Reddy from the BJP.
Claiming that he was not aware of the announcement of the resignation of his brother, he nevertheless said that more leaders like his brother would join the Congress in the days to come as the people of the State had made up their mind to experience change in the State.
Speaking to mediapersons in Nalgonda, Venkat Reddy thanked the people of Nalgonda for supporting him. "I am indebted to the people here," he said.
He also said that a meeting of the screening committee of the party would be held on Wednesday to release the second list of the party's candidates. He said that the list would be released on Thursday, and that they were facing difficulties in finalising the party's candidates for six Assembly constituency seats due to competition between several aspirants.
He said that his party was planning to allot four Assembly seats to the Left parties in the upcoming assembly elections, and expressed confidence that the Congress would get 70 to 80 Assembly seats.
Commenting on the collapse of Medigadda barrage, he reminded the media that he had written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking an inquiry into the alleged corruption in the Kaleswaram project.
