Last CM of undivided Andhra Pradesh, Kiran Kumar Reddy, joins BJP for a brighter future
Ex-Andhra Pradesh CM Kiran Kumar Reddy has made a surprising move and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after leaving Congress just last month. Reddy, who was the last chief minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh, took a jibe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, stating that the Congress leadership has failed to accept the people's verdict and correct their course. He believes that they believe they are always correct, while everyone else, including the people of India, are wrong
Congress Leader Turned BJP Supporter: Kiran Kumar Reddy's Big Leap
Reddy's family has had a long-standing
association with the Congress, making his move to the BJP even more unexpected.

Andhra Pradesh?
Interestingly, Reddy had previously revolted
against the Congress party when he was the chief minister in protest against
the division of Andhra Pradesh. Despite the high leadership of Congress
retaining him as the chief minister for four years amid internal dissension, he

statehood. In 2018, he rejoined Congress after meeting with Rahul Gandhi, but

Antony's exit from Congress to BJP: A major setback for Kerala Congress?
In another surprising move, Anil Antony, the
son of former Defence Minister AK Antony, has also joined the BJP. Antony, who
was previously a coordinator for the Kerala Congress Social Media Team,
resigned from all posts in the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee in January
after a row over a BBC documentary on the 2002 Gujarat riots and Prime Minister
Modi. Antony thanked Prime Minister Modi for his induction into the BJP and was
welcomed by Union Ministers Piyush Goyal and V Muraleedharan.
