Cong MLA Veera Siva Reddy to join TDP

G Veera Siva Reddy, sitting Congress MLA from Kamalapuram constituency and a close associate of former Chief Minister and Jai Samaikyandhra Party president N Kiran Kumar Reddy, today announced that he would join the TDP.

Speaking to reporters at Proddatur, he said he would meet the TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu in three days and join the party.
