Six BRS MLCs joined Congress late last night in the presence of Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, dealing a significant blow to the K. Chandrasekhar Rao-led party.

The Bharat Rashtra Samithi continues to suffer from desertions, with several leaders, including six MLAs, leaving the party after its defeat in the Assembly polls last year.

According to the Telangana Legislative Council website, currently, the BRS has 25 members and the Congress has four. There are four nominated MLCs, two members from AIMIM, one each from the BJP, the PRTU, and one Independent MLC, while two seats are vacant in the 40-member House.

The MLCs joined the Congress soon after Revanth Reddy returned from a two-day trip to the National Capital Thursday night.

With the fresh defections, Congress’s strength is set to go up to 10 in the legislative council.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
