'We are not sheep or buffaloes to be purchased', defector-MLAs hit back at Congress

The 12 Congress MLAs in Telangana who recently joined the ruling TRS, Wednesday hit back at the opposition party’s state leadership for its attack on them, saying their action was in accordance with the Constitutional provisions.

The Congress has alleged that they have been lured into joining the TRS, and has approached the High Court challenging their “merger” with the TRS Legislature Party.

MLA Gandra Venkata Ramana Reddy, flanked by other Congress MLAs who joined TRS, said they joined the ruling party as per provisions of the Constitution.
