He condemned the defections of his brother and members of NARMAC( Mother Dairy). Sukhender accused the Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao of trying to wipe out opposition parties in the State. Meanwhile, NARMAC chairman Jithender Reddy said that he joined TRS to protect the interests of the organisation and dairy farmers. He refuted the reports the he had joined TRS to retain the post. There were rumours that Jithender and DCCB chairman M Panduranga Rao will join TRS in the presence of CM at public meeting to be held at NG College in Nalgonda on June 8 but Jithender and his followers joined the party two days earlier.
