Congress has ensured that the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) was not made part of the Opposition parties’ meeting in Patna recently as it was sure that BRS would anyway sail with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was said to have informed Telangana Congress leaders.
How can anyone even think of Congress allying with the BRS. and the message that BRS and BJP were one and this fact should be taken to people forcefully, Mr. Gandhi was said to have told Telangana Congress Coordination meeting held in New Delhi in the presence of AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge, AICC General Secretary (Organisation) K.C. Venugopal, and AICC Telangana incharge Manikrao Thakare.
“By defeating the BRS we will be defeating the BJP as well,” Mr. Gandhi said, according to a senior leader who was part of the two-and-a-half-hour meeting that also saw him sending a message to all senior leaders present there not to squabble or air their differences in the media. Those crossing the line would be viewed seriously. “We are available here to listen to your grievances. “You can reach out to me, Mr. Kharge or Mr. Venugopal to share your thoughts rather than going to media.”
