All the three are likely to join the BRS in the presence of Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao during the Narsapur public meeting on Thursday evening.

In fact, one of these three BJP leaders, Singaipally Gopi, who aspired for the BJP Narsapur ticket, has already tendered his resignation. Rajeshwar Rao Deshpande, who aspired for the BJP ticket in Sangareddy, will resign on Thursday.
