Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Working President K. T. Rama Rao has downplayed the recent defections of party MLAs to the ruling Congress, emphasizing that the power of the people will ultimately prevail. KTR responded to the latest defection of Jagtial MLA M. Sanjay Kumar through a post on social media platform ‘X’ on Monday.
“The power of people is always stronger than the people in power. We have faced several defections of MLAs in the past in 2004-06 when Congress was in Government. Telangana responded strongly by stepping up the people’s agitation and eventually Congress had to bow its head. History shall repeat itself,” KTR wrote, expressing confidence in the resilience of the BRS and its supporters.
Sanjay Kumar joined Congress on Sunday in the presence of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, who also serves as the President of the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC). The Chief Minister welcomed Sanjay into the party.
