Later, MLA Srinivas Reddy told reporters that he had accepted the offer to become a member of the All India Congress. He praised the pro-farmer policies and claimed to have closely monitored the developments since Mr. Revanth Reddy became Chief Minister. Srinivas Reddy stated that he opted to join the Congress because he is from a farming family. Naturally, he understands the government’s devotion to the cause.
Mr. Srinivas Reddy, who served as Agriculture Minister from 2014 to 2018 and Speaker of the BRS government from 2018 to 2023, gave various reasons for his decision to join the Congress. He said that he had left the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) to join the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS, currently BRS) for a variety of reasons. He emphasized that he was going back to his original profession as a congressman.
