T Jeevan Reddy, a former minister and a prominent figure in Telangana politics, has indicated his intention to join the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) after resigning from the Indian National Congress, where he served for over 40 years. During a meeting with BRS chief K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), Reddy expressed his eagerness to collaborate with the party, stating, 'God himself has sent me to work with you.' This development is viewed as a significant boost for the BRS, especially in north Telangana, where Reddy holds considerable sway. His resignation from Congress was prompted by grievances over the party's leadership under Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, whom he accused of sidelining senior leaders and failing to fulfill promises. Reddy's political journey began with the Telugu Desam Party before he became a key Congress leader in the region. The shift has drawn criticism from Congress leaders, highlighting the ongoing political realignment in Telangana.
