All defections were entertained only after the approval of the high command and local leaders in the constituencies, said TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud
The MLC severely condemned the murder of his close aid Gangareddy (53) on Tuesday. He staged a protest on the road and vented his ire over the Congress leadership.
Stating that the defection of MLAs was being encouraged after getting the AICC's approval, Goud said the MLAs were not being compelled nor were they being assured any posts.
Addressing a press conference here, Niranjan said the people of Telangana were not happy with the welcome and honours extended to Chandrababu Naidu last week in Hyderabad.
