In sharp contrast to encouraging defections into the party, the Congress in its manifesto that was released on Friday, declared that 10th schedule would be amended to ensure automatic disqualification of MLAs / MPs, if they defect.

Hitting out at the Congress for its double standards, the BRS working president said Congress party, which was the mothership that promoted the “Aaya Ram, Gaya Ram” culture of political defections in India seems to have had a ‘Big’ change of heart.

“Welcome their noble proposal on amending 10th schedule. But as always, Congress preaches something but does the exact opposite in terms of practice!!,” he said on X.

“Rahul Gandhiji, why don’t you demonstrate that you are not a party of hypocrites? Make both these defectors resign or have the Speaker disqualify them and prove to the country that you practice what you preach,” Rama Rao said, sharing a copy of the Congress manifesto and images of Danam Nagender and Kadiyam Srihari joining the Congress party.
