Purandeswari joins BJP

Sharing dais with Naidu, she claimed that circumstances had forced her to take the decision to quit Congress.  

Purandeshwari, who was the Minister of State for Commerce and Industry, resigned from Congress after the Telangana bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha last month.

“I have come here to share my decision. I have spoken to all. I am not exerting pressure on anybody to be with me and come with me.

I have left it to them. The situation is such that we have to take a painful decision,” she had said earlier.
