More shock to Jagan: Ex-DGP jumps into BJP

More shock to Jagan: Ex-DGP jumps into BJP

In yet another shock to the YSR Congress party, former Director General of Police V Dinesh Reddy has decided to dump the party and join the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Dinesh Reddy would be formally joining the BJP in the presence of its national president Amit Shah who came to Hyderabad on Thursday.

According to party sources, the former DGP might get some important position in the BJP’s national executive, as he hails from powerful Reddy community from Nellore.

Dinesh Reddy made an attempt to join the BJP before the recent general elections, but he could not succeed because of his connections with former Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhar Reddy.

As a result, he joined the YSR Congress party in the presence of its president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy and was fielded from Malkajgiri Lok Sabha seat. However, he lost the seat to the Telugu Desam Party. Now, he has dumped Jagan after getting a green signal from the BJP leadership.
