BRS leader Palvai Sravanthi, daughter of Congress leader the late Palvai Govardhan Reddy, welcomed them into the BRS by wrapping the party scarfs around their shoulders at a programme here.

Speaking on the occasion, Sravanthi said that development of Munugode assembly constituency was possible only through BRS. The Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao solved decades old fluoride issue, which crippled lives of over two lakhs people in the assembly constituency. In addition to bringing down the fluoride content in the ground water to normal level, Shivannagudem reservoir, whose works were under progress, would provide irrigation facility to the farmers of Munugode, she added.

Terming Komatireddy brothers as covert brothers, she said that several Congress leaders became victims to their conspiracies and left the Congress. He exuded confidence that BRS would get hat-trick victory in the ensuing elections.
