Cong doubles its tally in Telangana Legislative Council after defection of BRS MLCs
The midnight defection of six MLCs of the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) has doubled the strength of the ruling Congress party to 12 in the 40-member Telangana Legislative Council.
The joining of six MLCs in one go came as another big jolt to the main opposition party, which has already lost six MLAs to the ruling party.
Dande Vittal, Bhanu Prasad, B. Dayanand, Prabhakar Rao, Egge Mallesham and Basavaraju Saraiah formally joined the Congress party around 1 a.m. after the return of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy from Delhi.
