BRS leader Dasoju Sravan on Friday wanted him to handover the Home Minister portfolio to someone who could devote time and discharge responsibilities with a commitment.
Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy presented him the party scarf and formally welcomed him into the party. Yadaiah is the sixth BRS MLA to join the Congress party.
He pointed out that the BRS outperformed the BJP in numerous Assembly constituencies, but the Congress had failed to do the same in the Chief Minister's own constituency in Kodangal.
Raja Singh said the government and in particular the Chief Minister, A Revanth Reddy were playing into hands of All India Majlis e Ittehadul Muslimeen party (AIMIM) and obeying Hyderabad MP, Asaduddin Owaisi.
Sources say Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy is planning to write a letter to the Centre requesting extension of the deadline and allocating the notified mines to public sector units.
Government Whip Adluri Laxman Kumar has been tasked with escorting Jeevan Reddy to Delhi. Sources said arrangements have been made to fly them from Hyderabad.
Bhatti Vikramarka's visit gains significance after holding discussions with MLC T Jeevan Reddy who revealed his plans to quit the party and the post, miffed over Revanth Reddy's decision to admit his political rival and Jagtial MLA M Sanjay Kumar into the party fold.
Former MP B Vinod Kumar suggested that the Chief Minister should examine the available records in his office before making such baseless allegations for political mileage.
Over the last few days, defections engineered by Revanth Reddy of senior BRS leaders into the party have stoked the fire that was already raging over other issues.
These could not be dismissed as suicides, but had to be seen as murder by the government, since it was the administration's neglect and vindictive policies against the initiatives started by the previous BRS government that led to this situation.
