Rajya Sabha MP and National OBC president K. Laxman has contested Minister K.T. Rama Rao’s claim that he had promised BJP support to BRS in 2018. “This is a blatant lie. BRS leaders are known to spread lies and disinformation. The party will do anything to divert people’s attention. The BJP is an ideology-based party functioning as per people’s aspirations,” he asserted.
Mr. Laxman, in a press statement on Wednesday, has charged the BRS with always hankering to have tie-ups with different parties before the elections, “behind the screen” like it had tied up with Majlis party during the GHMC elections and garnered the Mayor seat.
Similarly, it roped in Left parties — CPI, CPI(M) — during the Munugode byelection to halt the BJP’s progress. “The BJP will never align with any family-based party and BRS leaders have no moral right to make any comment against our party or Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” he maintained.
