Former Lok Sabha member Konda Vishweshwara Reddy said that he is staying in the BJP and reports in some section of media about his quitting the party was wrong. He termed the party as the most secular and pushing for common civil code as an example of that.
“I will be with the BJP and am not leaving the party as reported in some sections of the media. People have confidence in the BJP and that it would defeat the BRS in elections. Though we lost in Karnataka, we got the same percentage of votes that we won in previous elections there. Muslims votes are getting consolidated and they are not trusting the party are some of the reasons for the defeat. We are not against Muslims. For us, all Muslims are Indians. We are with them and we will be with them. We have failed to sell it hard whereas Congress was successful,” said Mr. Vishweshwara Reddy while speaking to reporters here on Saturday.
He said that BJP is not good at doing electoral politics and it has to get acquainted with that.
