Sources in BRS & Cong confirmed that 6-7 MLAs held talks with key leaders from pink party twice in past 2 weeks
SEVERAL defectors from the BRS who had joined the ruling Congress over the past few months are now considering returning to their former party if the grapevine is to be believed.
Sources in both parties confirmed that six to seven MLAs have held discussions with key BRS leaders twice over the past two weeks. Leaders from both parties told TNIE that these MLAs are worried about facing by-elections. They do not wish to contest fresh elections due to the financial burden and are not prepared to risk losing, as this could impact their political future, the leaders said.
