Hours after joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy on Friday met the party's national president JP Nadda in the national capital here.
Earlier in the day, Mr Reddy, who served as the last Chief Minister for undivided Andhra Pradesh, joined BJP at a function organized at the party headquarter.
Mr Reddy on March 13, 2023, sent a letter to the Congress' national president Mallikarjun Kharge. "Please accept this letter as my resignation from the primary membership of the Indian National Congress," he wrote in a letter.
Mr Reddy became Andhra Pradesh's chief minister on November 11, 2010, but resigned on March 10, 2014, to protest against the Congress party's decision to bifurcate the state.
