It’s almost finalized. The former and last CM of United Andhra Pradesh Nallari Kiran Kumar Reddy is all set for his political re-entry. As reported earlier, Kiran would be joining the BJP fold. Kiran will be joining BJP on January 29 in Vijayawada in the presence of BJP National President Amit Shah.

Openly revolting against his own Congress party for unilaterally bifurcating Andhra Pradesh, Kiran Reddy had resigned to his CM post. He later floated his own political outfit Jai Samaikyandhra Party (JSP) ahead of elections and faced poll drubbing. The party tasted a disaster as none of the contestants even got deposit. In fact, Kiran’s own brother Kishore Kumar Reddy who contested from Piler constituency, the constituency in which Kiran believed to hold sway, too lost much to the embarrassment of the former CM.

Although Kiran Reddy boasted his best as the champion for the cause of united Andhra Pradesh, with UPA II successfully dividing the state, Kiran had lost. Still he has earned good fan base in the Seema Andhra region. With his joining, the party is expected to gain strength in the truncated state.
