Meanwhile, senior Congress leader MLA from Telangana's Munugode constituency, Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy on August 3 announced his resignation from the Congress party and also as a legislator, saying that "I am not against Sonia Gandhi, but in the country, the congress party has become weak, we got the Telangana state where 1,400 people died. We took the decision to save the state. To end the family rule, I left the Congress party to bring the democratic system and this will happen with BJP." Reddy will join the BJP party in the presence of Shah.

Former BJP MLC Ram Chander Rao is also confident that his party will win Munugode as well."Amit Shah is visiting Munugode and Rajgopal Reddy will join the party with his followers on August 21. Like in Huzurabad and Dubbaka, Munugode will be won by the BJP. CM KCR is afraid and he wants to show his muscle power and is misusing government and money power to see that the BJP's meeting is not a success, therefore he himself has organised a meeting on August 20," he said."Congress is having their own internal conflicts and getting weakened by it. There is no national or state leadership in it," he added. (ANI)
