Nampally : Giving another jolt to the grand old party senior Congress leader and former MLA Kuna Srisailam Goud on Sunday joined the BJP in the presence of party chief JP Nadda at Delhi.
The 52-year-old Congress leader who is currently the District Congress president of Mechal-Malkajgiri district was admitted into the party in the presence of the party national vice-president D K Aruna, State BJP chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar and party national general secretary Tarun Chug at the party headquarters in Delhi.
Staring his career in the Youth Congress in 1992, he was nominated as the chairman of the AP State Police Housing Corporation in 2005 and entered into the portals of the Congress after he was appointed the PCC secretary in United Andhra Pradesh in 2008.
