Speculations are rife that former BRS leader Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy is likely to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Telangana BJP leader Eatala Rajender, along with other party leaders, is set to meet Ponguleti at his residence in Khammam district on Thursday. The Huzurabad MLA is said to have been in touch with Ponguleti over the last few days, and Jupalli Krishna Rao, another ex-BRS leader, is expected to attend the meeting as well. Ponguleti had won the Khammam Lok Sabha seat in the 2014 elections on a YSRCP ticket, but he later joined the TRS (now BRS) in May 2016 along with his followers. However, the party denied him a ticket in the 2019 elections from Khammam.
