Shock for BJP as former MLA resigns at the time of Munugodu by-election

Hyderabad, Oct.20 (NSS): In a jolt to Bharatiya Janata Party ahead of Munugodu by-election, Alair former MLA Bikshamaiah Goud on Thursday quit the party. He is likely to join the ruling TRS party.

In his resignation letter, the former legislator alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party was showing a lot of discrimination towards backward classes and he couldn’t digest the injustice meted out to the BCs in the party.

Bikshamaih Goud stated that he had joined the BJP, hoping that the union government would set up a separate portfolio for the development of backward classes and would allocate a special budget for the welfare of BCs in the country.

He said the BJP had not fulfilled the promise made in 2016 by then Union Health Minister JP Nadda of establishing a 300-bedded hospital for fluoride victims at Marriguda in Munugodu Assembly constituency. The union government also failed to set up a Flouride Research and Mitigation Centre despite the State government allocating 8.2 acres of land at Dandu Malkapur village for the project, he alleged.
