The defection of Pocharam Srinivas Reddy at the behest of Revanth Reddy, has seen the BRS demanding Srinivas Reddy to resign and seek re-election as a Congress nominee.

Addressing a news conference at Telangana Bhavan, BRS MLAs said the political loyalties of Pocaharam were always linked to the net benefits he was assured of by a political party.

Pocharam Srinivas Reddy warned that the State government will be responsible for any decline in crop production, due to delayed release of water.
