Triggering a minor flutter, four BRS MLAs from the erstwhile Medak district of Telangana called on Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy at the state secretariat in Hyderabad on Tuesday, 23 January.
They were V Sunitha Laxmareddy (Narsapur), Gudem Mahipal Reddy (Patancheru), Kotha Prabhakar Reddy (Dubbak) and Koninti Manik Rao (Zaheerabad).
Though it was said that this was a courtesy call, their meeting raised eyebrows as of all the BRS MLAs, only Medak legislators called on him.
Interestingly, the Medak district is a BRS stronghold: BRS supremo K Chandrashekar Rao hails from it.
The meeting evoked curiosity in political circles as it happened ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.
The MLAs insisted that it was a courtesy call and said they sought funds for the development of their respective constituencies in the interaction with him.
Gudem Mahipal Reddy told South First: “We called on him to bring to his notice the protocol issues we are facing back in our Assembly constituencies.”
He added: “We also sought the release of funds for works and steps for grounding of works already sanctioned.”
