The former Speaker had betrayed the TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu in the past. Now it was the turn of the BRS leadership. He will have no hesitation to ditch A Revanth Reddy tomorrow. He had deceived the BRS leadership. His shifting of loyalties was not intended to benefit the farming community. He did so only for the sake of his stone crushers. He had used Rs 7500 crores for his constituency development. The BRS was not short of leaders, they said.

The exit of such leaders from the party will help make space for a new breed of young and genuine leaders, they asserted
