Jeevan Reddy praises BRS
On March 25, Reddy quit as a member of the All India Congress Committee (AICC). Earlier this month, Jeevan Reddy praised KCR and the BRS government for their policies benefiting farmers and women in the state. On April 10, Reddy even met the BRS chief at the latter’s farmhouse in Erravelli.
Upon meeting the former Telangana CM, Reddy was emotional and said that god had sent him to meet the BRS president.
On April 9, BRS working president KT Rama Rao (KTR) had invited Jeevan Reddy, who has been disgruntled with the Congress for the past couple of years, to join the pink party after Reddy praised the BRS government for implementing several welfare schemes.
He also accused the current government of undoing the work of the BRS government during its tenure.
