Ponguleti Meets BJP's Rajgopal, Says Courtesy Call

Hyderabad: Congress leader Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy met disgruntled BJP leader Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy on Wednesday, even as top level changes were made to the BJP state leadership.

Asked what had transpired at the meeting, Srinivas Reddy said, “There has been no development. It was a courtesy meeting. Any further developments will be intimated.”

Rajgopal Reddy, formerly a Congress MLA, had quit his Assembly seat and joined the BJP. This necessitated the byelection to the Munugode Assembly constituency. Rajgopal Reddy lost the poll to the BRS candidate. He has been seeking a change in leadership at the state level and a stronger stand against the BRS.
