One More Former Union Minister Leaving Congress for TDP?

Former Union Minister, Kishore Chandra Deo is gearing up to resign for the Congress Party and may join the ruling Telugu Desam Party. He has been elected to the Lok Sabha five times and has also held one term in the Rajya Sabha. From July 2011 to May 2014, he was the Union Cabinet Minister for Tribal Affairs & Panchayati Raj.

Kishore Chandra Deo contested for Araku Parliament Segment in the last elections on Congress Ticket and lost the deposit. Earlier this week, we have seen another Former Union Minister, Kotla Surya Prakash Reddy meeting TDP Supremo Chandrababu Naidu and is expected to join TDP very soon.

If Kishore Chandra Deo also joins, we will arrive at two Former Union Ministers leaving Congress already in 2019. Interestingly, these interesting turn of events happened after Congress announced having no alliance with TDP in the upcoming elections. Leaders who stuck to the party even after the 2014 debacle were hoping for the alliance with TDP to come to the party’s rescue.
