The big jolt was delivered on Thursday when Bodhan MLA, Shakil Aamir Mohammed, and the sole Muslim legislator of the TRS, decided to quit the party and to join BJP. Even as the TRS leadership’s efforts to cajole dissidents to not quit after the Cabinet expansion was on, MLA Shakil met Dharmapuri Arvind, BJP’s Nizamabad MP, at his residence on Thursday at Hyderabad. Shakil said that he was ready to resign as an MLA to join the BJP.
Shakil is the only Muslim MLA elected from the TRS in last year’s preponed Assembly elections. Once Shakil formally joins the BJP, he would become the first TRS MLA to quit and jump ship.
