In a setback to the BJP in the Dubbaka constituency, two prominent local BJP leaders joined the TRS.
Dubbaka BJP president Y Raji Reddy and his wife Madhavi, who is the lone BJP councillor in the municipality, joined the ruling party today.
Finance & Health Minister T Harish Rao welcomed the couple into the TRS fold at his residence in Hyderabad.
The minster offered them the TRS party shawls, and all possible support for the development of the town and constituency.
Reddy and Madhavi expressed displeasure at BJP MLA Raghunandan Rao turning "dictatorial".
"Though we helped him win the MLA seat, he was not helping us to grow or take up development works. We are fed up with the attitude of the MLA, and decided to join the TRS for development. We will now be able to develop the town and constituency by taking support from Harish Rao and Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao," they claimed.
The couple joined the ruling party only a day after KCR's visit to Dubbaka constituency.
