Ex-Cong MP joins BJP

New Delhi: Former Rajya Sabha member from Telangana Ananda Bhaskar Rapolu on Thursday joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) here in the presence of Union Minister JP Nadda.

Bhaskar, who had served in the Congress for 25 years, had resigned from the primary membership of the Congress in March. He was elected to the Rajya Sabha in 2012.

Rapolu was upset with the Congress as he was denied ticket from Palakurthy constituency in Warangal district during the Assembly polls in 2018.
