Hyderabad:- In a significant political development, Khairatabad BRS MLA and former Minister Danam Nagender tendered his resignation from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) on Sunday, opting to join the ranks of the Congress. Nagender’s move hints at a potential candidacy for the Congress in the Secunderabad Lok Sabha seats, disrupting the aspirations of former Mayor Bonthu Rammohan, who had positioned himself for a nomination. Alongside Chevella BRS MP Dr. Ranjit Reddy, Nagender made the transition to the Congress, formalizing his decision in the presence of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and AICC in-charge Deepa Das Munshi.

Nagender’s political journey has seen its share of shifts and realignments. Despite his tenure with the Congress from 1994 to 2004, he switched allegiance to the TDP just before the polls, securing victory in the Asifnagar seat in 2004 but facing subsequent setbacks. Nagender’s electoral saga continued with victories in Asifnagar and later Khairatabad, serving as a Minister in YS Rajasekhara Reddy’s and Konijeti Rosaiah’s Cabinets. His recent transition from the BRS to the Congress marks yet another chapter in his political trajectory.

The defection of Chevella MP Dr. Gaddam Ranjith Reddy and Khairatabad MLA Danam Nagender deals a significant blow to the opposition Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in Telangana. With four members leaving the party in the span of two days, including Warangal MP Pasunoori Dayakar and former MLA Aroori Ramesh, who joined the Congress and BJP respectively, the BRS faces a period of internal upheaval.

In his statement, MP Ranjith Reddy cited “evolving political circumstances” as the catalyst for his decision to resign from the BRS, expressing gratitude for the opportunities and cooperation extended during his tenure representing the Chevella constituency. As these defections reshape the political landscape in Telangana, the repercussions are likely to reverberate across party lines.
