The police have also beefed up security at Gandhi’s residence, who has announced that if Kaushik Reddy does not come to his house, he will visit him.
Gandhi, who got elected to the Assembly on a BRS ticket but joined the Congress party in July, was on Monday appointed as chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), a post usually given to opposition members.
The BRS slammed the ruling Congress party for appointing a turncoat MLA as PAC chairman and demanded his disqualification along with the disqualification of nine other defectors, but Gandhi claimed that he was still in the opposition.
