The latest is that the Congress in-charge of Sirpur (T) constituency Palvai Harish Babu and former MP Rathod Ramesh are likely to switch over to the BJP.
Incidentally, many are those were taken into the Congress without cross-checking their are now eyeing the BJP.
Atram Sakku of Asifabad, who was elected as Congress MLA in 2018, joined the TRS later. Senior leaders who had played a key role in deciding the party tickets and selection of candidates in 2018 have remained inactive.
Taking cue from the precedent set by former Nirmal municipal chairman Appala Ganesh, Harish Babu and Rathod are set to join BJP in the presence of party president J.P. Nadda, according to sources.
On the other hand, Adilabad MP Soyam Bapurao said that the BJP national leadership will welcome any senior leader irrespective of whether the individual is from TRS or Congress in order to strengthen the party base and help it come to power in 2024.
