Recalling Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s comments on Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao that he had planned to join the NDA but rejected, the Telangana Congress chief Revanth Reddy recalled a meeting of the State BJP leaders with Mr. KCR at Pragati Bhavan in 2018 and said it exposed how they have been working together since several years.
Mr. Reddy in a statement said that Mr. KCR, who never gave an appointment to Opposition leaders, called the BJP leaders to Pragati Bhavan to seek their support for early elections in 2018. The BJP leaders then claimed that they had met the Chief Minister seeking land to set up a memorial in the name of former Prime Minister Vajpayee.
“If that was the case, why is that even after five years no land has been given for the Vajpayee memorial, and even the BJP leaders have never spoken about it again?” he asked. “In reality, KCR and BJP leaders had hatched a conspiracy at Pragati Bhavan to damage the Congress in disguise of the establishment of Vajpayee Memorial,” he alleged.
