VISAKHAPATNAM: YSRC MP Vijaysai Reddy on Friday said attracted by the policies and good governance of the YSRC government, many Opposition MLAs wanted to join the ruling party. Some proposals have been made and Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy will take a decision, he said.
However, as per the party policy, the MLAs will have to resign from their posts before joining the party.
