ADILABAD: The top leadership of the TRS and the BJP are keeping a close watch on the movements of their MLAs and MPs in the context of the Dalita Girijana Dandora meeting in Indravelli on August 9.
News is making rounds in the political circles that some senior TRS and BJP leaders worked from behind in the recent joining of some of their associates in the Congress party in the presence of state party chief Revanth Reddy.
After the Congress high command recently made Revanth the state party chief, he has been working at different levels to revive the fortunes of the party.
Top TRS and BJP brass have inquired about the joining of some second-rung leaders from the two parties in the Congress and also about the likelihood of more such leaders extending their support to the Congress party.
A TRS MLA of old Adilabad district recently met party working president KT Ramarao and explained why he was having close associations with the Congress party in recent times.
Both TRS and BJP high commands are checking if any of their MLAs and MPs is getting in touch with Revanth Reddy.
