BJP senior leader and MLA Eatala Rajender and former MLA Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy, who met party national president J.P. Nadda in New Delhi on Saturday, did not mince words in expressing displeasure over the party’s silence on the perception created about its closeness with the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in Telangana.
Mr. Rajender and Mr. Rajgopal Reddy were called to New Delhi for discussions with rumours floating around that they might leave the party as the BJP was no longer serious to fight the BRS. During the discussion for over an hour, the leaders apparently made it clear that unless some seriousness in the fight with the BRS was infused people were not willing to believe the BJP.
Home Minister Amit Shah, Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy and BJP general secretaries Sunil Bansal and B.L. Santosh were present at the meeting. The two leaders were said to have spoken their hearts out in front of Mr. Amit Shah that unless some serious steps were taken in Telangana there was no way the party can revive.
