Congress MLA to join BJP Updated: Updated: If he resigns, Congress will be left with 5 MLAs Share Article If he resigns, Congress will be left with 5 MLAs Congress MLA from Munugode Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy reiterated that he would join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) but did not specify when or whether he would resign as a MLA or not. He had made similar statements a few months after the Assembly elections in 2019 that Congress was a dying party and only the Bharatiya Janata Party was the hope. His comments at that time were seen as an expression of agony as he was not made Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader. However, after the Congress bounced back in the Lok Sabha elections winning three seats, including his brother Komatireddy Venkata Reddy emerging successful from Bhongir, he retracted, saying he would continue in the Congress.
