Mynampally, son join Congress in New Delhi

Hyderabad: BRS Malkajgiri MLA Mynampally Hanumanth Rao joined the Congress with his son Rohith in the presence of AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge in Delhi on Thursday. The Congress has suspended its rule and agreed to give tickets to both father and son.

BRS Nakrekal former MLA M. Vemula Veeresham and former district Congress president Kumbam Anil Kumar Reddy, who switched to the BRS on July 24, rejoined the Congress. Nakka Prabhakar Goud, Hanumanth Rao's aide and 2018 BSP Nakrekal candidate, joined the Congress but there is no assurance that he will be given a ticket.

AICC Telangana affairs incharge Manikrao Thakre, TPCC chief A. Revanth Reddy and several party leaders were present.

Hanumanth Rao had rebelled against the BRS leadership after it did not give his son Rohith the Medak ticket. He resigned from the BRS on September 22
