BRS MLA Prakash Goud joins Congress
By PBNews With the addition of eight BRS MLAs who crossed over to Congress, its strength rose to 73.
BRS MLA Prakash Goud joined the Congress in Telangana on Friday, taking the total number of opposition legislators switching over to the ruling party to eight.
BRS had won 39 of the total 119 Assembly constituencies in the elections held last year, while Congress came to power winning 64 seats. However, BRS MLA from Secunderabad Cantonment, G Lasya Nanditha, died in a road accident earlier this year. Congress won the recently held by-poll for the above segment. This led to an increase in its strength to 65.
Meanwhile, MLA Danam Nagender, who was the first BRS MLA to switch sides to Congress, claimed on Friday that the BRS would be left with only a few MLAs soon.
