R Krishnaiah joins YSRC

The leaders of Telangana state Pradesh Congress committee are shocked after BC leader R. Krishnaiah joined the YSR Congress in presence of party chief Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy during the BC Garjana programme that was held in Eluru of West Godavari district on Sunday.

Mr Krishnaiah had surprised the Congress cadre by grabbing the party ticket for Miryalaguda Assembly constituency in the last minute in the recently-held Assembly elections. He was not active in the party since his defeat in the elections. He had met Mr Jagan Mohan few days ago who invited him to the BC meeting.
