Leakers like former ministers Danam Nagender and Kadiyam Srihari always find it difficult to remain in an opposition party. So, even after electing as MLAs in the recent elections, both of them joined Congress party. Moreover, they also succeeded in bargain intelligently and got MP seats also.
Being an BRS MLA, Danam Nagender is not hesitating to contest as Congress candidate from Secunderabad Lok Sabha, while Kadiyam Srihari’s daughter Kavya is contesting as Congress candidate from Warangal Lok Sabha seat.
But, both of them are now locked in an irksome position after the Congress party released its Election Manifesto. In the Manifesto, the party promised to bring a law, if they win in the polls, that those who won the election on a party ticket, should resign from that position if they want to join another party.
Moreover, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi made it clear that those who want to join Congress should resign from their position elected on behalf of another party. This comment makes it compulsory for both Danam Nagender and Kadiyam Sri Hari to resign as MLAs.
Party’s this decision is also creating trouble for chief minister Revanth Reddy, as he was instrumental in encouraging both Nagender and Sri Hari to join Congress and also persuaded the party high-command to give them MP seats. Danam Nagender is already facing a case before Telangana High Court for preparing to contest in the Lok Sabha polls as Congress candidate, by continuing as BRS MLA.
Since their joining Congress, the opposition leaders are demanding both Danam and Kadiyam to resign as MLAs. But the Congress leaders are maintaining silence over such demands. Now Congress leaders in the state are also worried about the fate of Mayors and Municipal Chairpersons, who are joining Congress, without resigning those positions.
