In the ongoing war of words between the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Roads and Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy claimed that BJP Legislature Party leader Aleti Maheshwar Reddy approached him to join the Congress in exchange for a Cabinet berth.
Mr. Venkat Reddy was responding to the challenge of Mr. Maheshwar Reddy that the Congress government would fall if it touches any BJP MLA.
The Minister said that Maheshwar Reddy, who was earlier with the Congress, had expressed his willingness to join the party. “As his moves were not entertained, he is making false allegations against me,” the Minister said.
