The Congress party seems to be desperate to stall the defection of former PCC chief Botsa Satyanarayana into the YSR Congress party.
Even as Botsa made an official declaration on Saturday that he had decided to join the YSR Congress party and would decide the date of joining after discussing with his well-wishers, senior Congress leader C Ramachandraiah exuded confidence that Botsa would not leave the Congress as the latter was a good leader.
It may be recalled that the YSRCP MPs and MLAs called on Botsa on Friday evening at the latter’s residence to request him to embrace YSRCP. Botsa too sent positive signals to the YSRCP feelers. It is learnt that Botsa put some conditions to switch his loyalty to the YSRCP.
However, Botsa’s entry into the YSR Congress party is expected to cause a lot of ripples in the party and according to sources, several party leaders might protest his admission into the party. There might be some resignations from the party as well, say sources.
