Another setback for the Congress comes with the joining of the BJP by N Kiran Kumar Reddy, the last undivided Andhra Pradesh chief minister

 

N Kiran Kumar Reddy, the former Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh, recently joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), marking yet another setback for the Indian National Congress.

Reddy's decision to join the BJP is significant for several reasons. For one, he is a prominent leader from the state of Andhra Pradesh, which has been a stronghold for the Congress party for several decades. His departure from Congress will undoubtedly weaken the party's already fragile position in the state.

Reddy's move to the BJP is also significant because he is a well-respected leader with a long-standing political career. He was the last Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh and had served as a member of the Congress party for over 30 years. His decision to leave the party and join the BJP suggests that he has lost faith in the Congress and its ability to deliver on its promises.

The BJP, on the other hand, has welcomed Reddy with open arms. The party has been working hard to expand its presence in Andhra Pradesh, which has traditionally been a stronghold for regional parties. Reddy's entry into the BJP is expected to give the party a much-needed boost in the state, as he is likely to bring with him a significant number of supporters.

The Congress, meanwhile, continues to struggle with internal conflicts and leadership issues. The party's inability to keep its own leaders in line has led to a spate of defections in recent years, with several prominent leaders leaving to join other parties.

Overall, Reddy's decision to join the BJP is yet another setback for the Congress, which is already facing an uphill battle to remain relevant in Indian politics. It remains to be seen whether the party can regroup and mount a comeback in the face of mounting challenges.
