Goud, who quit the TRS on October 15, earlier said he would join BJP at its Central office in Delhi on Wednesday in the presence of Union Ministers. He was speaking to reporters when state BJP president and MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar met and invited him to join the party.

Alleging that the TRS leadership had remained inaccessible for him to represent people's problems, Goud said he felt that his political life would be futile if things continued to be the same.

He said he joined politics to work for the people and had got highways, Kendriya Vidyalaya and others for his constituency during his tenure as a Lok Sabha member (2014-19). These development projects were achieved by representing for them with senior Central leaders like Nitin Gadkari, JP Nadda and Harsh Vardhan.

Goud said he chose to join the BJP as leaders like Tarun Chugh, in-charge of party affairs in Telangana, and Bandi Sanjay Kumar suggested to him that the BJP would be the appropriate forum for him. Sanjay Kumar said Goud had fought for backward classes and also the poor in Other Castes (OCs).
