Hyderabad: Ibrahimpatnam MLA Manchireddy Kishan Reddy crossed fence from Telugu Desam to Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) on Friday. He joined the list of former TDP MLAs Talasani Srinivas Yadav, Teegala Krishna Reddy and C Dharma Reddy, who switched loyalties to the ruling party. TRS president and Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao welcomed him into party fold by adorning pink scarf at a small programme held at his official residence, just before the plenary was set to kick-off at LB Stadium. Ministers Tummala Nageswara Rao, Harish Rao, Mahender Reddy and other leaders were present. It may be mentioned here that Kishan Reddy took this step to ensure his constituency, Ibrahimpatnam, reaps the benefits of development under TRS rule. He later attended the party plenary.
