Sparks Speculation on Medak Seat
Hyderabad November 17
In a significant political development, renowned actress and former BJP leader Vijayashanti has officially joined the Congress party. The momentous occasion took place at Gandhi Bhavan in Nampally, Hyderabad, where she extended her allegiance to the party in the presence of the national president, Mallikarjuna Kharge.
Kharge, along with prominent Congress leaders such as Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka and Sridhar Babu, welcomed Vijayashanti into the party fold. The event marked a noteworthy convergence of political figures, symbolizing the actress’s transition into the Congress party.
Expressing her gratitude, Vijayashanti took to social media to acknowledge the warm reception she received from the state leadership. In her tweet, she conveyed her appreciation for the respect and esteem with which she was welcomed into the party. Her tweet read, ‘I am very grateful to the leadership of the state, who welcomed me with great respect and regard.’
This move comes just two days after Vijayashanti tendered her resignation from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Reports in the media suggest that her decision to join the Congress party may be tied to the promise of contesting the Medak Lok Sabha seat, adding a layer of political significance to her switch in allegiance.
Vijayashanti’s entry into the Congress party adds a dynamic element to the political landscape, and her association with the party was formalized in a ceremony presided over by Mallikarjuna Kharge. The unfolding political scenario in the region is sure to be shaped by this development, as the actress-turned-politician aligns herself with the Congress party’s vision and objectives.
