If TRS cuts the chord with Owaisis, we shall think about an alliance, says BJP leader G Kishan Reddy
HYDERABAD: The cat is out of the bag, or is it? Prodded about the saffron party’s relationship with TRS, senior BJP leader G Kishan Reddy said that it would consider an alliance with the pink party provided K Chandrasekhar Rao cuts the chord with AIMIM.
The statement comes amid rumours that TRS and BJP are indulging in a “friendly fight” this election. “We will not have an alliance with TRS until K Chandrasekhar Rao stops acting like a puppet in the hands of Majilis,” Kishan Reddy said. “If there are any relations, it will be like that between the central government and state government and not between Deendayal Bhavan and Telangana Bhavan,” he added.
“Besides ideological differences, there are several reasons why we aren’t currently in an alliance with TRS,” Reddy said. “People of TS are thinking of the sacrifices of martyrs were meant only for the sake of KCR family,” Reddy said.
“It is one step forward and seven steps backwards for KCR who has notified 60,000 jobs but a lot of them are under litigation,” Reddy said. On grand alliance, he said, “there is no guarantee if Congress or TDP MLAs will stay with the party after polls, going by their history.”
BJP clarifies Modi’s comment
After many claims on PM Narendra Modi’s comment on the scarcity of electricity in TS and TRS government’s failure to provide power supply to all, the State unit of BJP said that it was not what the PM wanted to say. “We have verified on what the Prime Minister spoke.
The context on which the PM spoke was different. He wanted to say that we (BJP) are giving electricity to the people across the country but instead, he said something else,” BJP leader G Kishan Reddy said.
