Voting will be held on May 13 for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Telangana, for which the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) is currently in place.
On March 31, BRS posted on Twitter that “KCR inspects waterlogged crop fields in Suryapet rural area”. These agricultural areas are reportedly facing drought-like conditions.
Earlier in the day, BRS suffered another blow in Telangana when its sitting MLA and former minister Kadiyam Srihari and his daughter Kadiyam Kavya joined the Congress on Sunday, PTI reported.
“For various reasons, people are moving away from BRS. So, to serve the people and do something for the constituency, he will take a decision (on joining the Congress party),” Srihari was quoted as saying.
Kavya, who was the BRS candidate from Warangal, announced her decision to pull out citing recent allegations of corruption and phone tapping against the previous Chandrashekhar Rao-led regime.
