The Congress in Telangana plunged into crisis on Thursday as 12 MLAs broke away from the party and resolved to merge with the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), thereby escaping the provisions of the anti-defection law.
The Congress won 19 seats in the 119-member state assembly in the elections held last December. Subsequently, as many as 11 MLAs switched over to the TRS, though they officially did not resign from the Congress.
On Thursday, one more MLA —P Rohit Reddy, who represents Tandur assembly constituency in Ranga Reddy district — met TRS working president K T Rama Rao and expressed his desire to join his party.
With this, the total number of turncoats from the Congress to the TRS rose to 12.
