AICC general secretary K.C. Venugopal’s message to the State Congress leadership was stern and clear that it was time to target the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) is almost finished in the State and is in no position to challenge the Congress.
Mr. Venugopal, who arrived in the city on Sunday evening to hold discussions with the party leaders at a hotel on the preparations for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls said despite the BRS weakening Congress was not taking advantage of it as some leaders were averse to allow the BRS cadres to join the Congress.
He told the Ministers and 14 candidates, who attended the meeting, to expedite the joinings from the BRS. “You can leave a few controversial leaders but there are others at the mandal-level who were looking for a better political future as they have lost hope on BRS,” he said expecting more joinings in the State soon.
