Hyderabad: Telangana Congress may be in for yet another massive jolt as many of the party MLAs, MLCs and an MP are mulling shifting their loyalties to the ruling TRS.

Though Venkat Reddy claimed that his meeting with Harish Rao was only a courtesy call to convey birthday wishes to the Minister, sources said that the duo were closeted for more than 40 minutes, The subject of Venkat Reddy and his brother joining the TRS reportedly figured in the discussions.
Meanwhile, Venkat Reddy is not seeing eye to eye with Minister for Energy G Jagadish Reddy and is not relishing the Minister’s dominance in Nalgonda district. The two leaders locked horns on several issues, particularly development activities in the district.
Source said that the Reddy brothers demand that they be given freedom to strengthen the party in the district under their leadership. Venkat Reddy has reportedly expressed his reservations over his and his brother’s inability to work under the leadership Jagadish Reddy. The Minister is, according to sources, opposed to admitting Venkat Reddy and his brother into TRS.
Sources said that Nalgonda MP G Sukhendar Reddy and Miryalaguda MLA N Bhaskar Rao have also been in touch with TRS high command. Bhaskar Rao is a follower of Minister for Roads and Buildings T Nageshwara Rao.
Sources said that Sukhendar Reddy and Bhaskar, also hailed from Nalgonda district, would decide their political future in one or two months. Telangana Congress strength in State Assembly has come down to 14 from 19 as five of its MLAs already shifted loyalties to TRS in the last two years.
