New Delhi: Former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Kiren Kumar Reddy who quit Congress a few weeks ago, joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday.

During a press brief at BJP headquarters in New Delhi, Reddy said that he never imagined of leaving the grand-old party, holding the party leadership’s “wrong decision” to make him take the step of seperation.

Reddy alleged that Congress is being damaged in state after state due to its “bad and wrong decisions” as it does not interact with people and take opinions of leader.

Taking a jibe at the Congress leadership, Reddy said, “I had never imagined that I’ll have to leave Congress…There is a saying- ‘My king is very intelligent, he doesn’t think on his own, doesn’t listen to anyone’s advice.’ He said the Congress want power but does not want to work hard or take responsibility.
