Speculations are rife in political circles in Hyderabad over former Minister and Sanathnagar BRS MLA Talasani Srinivas Yadav joining the Congress soon. Sources said Srinivas Yadav was expected to join Congress in the presence of MP Rahul Gandhi and other senior leaders in New Delhi.

Though a few local Congress leaders are strongly objecting to the entry of Srinivas Yadav into Congress, former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akilesh Yadav was lobbying for Srinivas Yadav with Rahul Gandhi and convinced him to join the Sanathnagar MLA into Congress.
