Stating that the Congress would be further strengthened in the Assembly after Parliament elections, TPCC working president T. Jayaprakash Reddy condemned BJP MP K. Laxman’s reported comments on the survival of the Congress government.
Speaking to reporters here, Mr. Reddy said the ‘political chip’ of Mr. Laxman seems to be damaged given his claims that the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) would be merged into the Congress. “Why will KCR [BRS chief K. Chandrasekhar Rao] merge his party into Congress,” he asked.
Congress’ strength would reach 90 MLAs and some of those preferring to join the party may include BJP MLAs, Mr. Reddy claimed. Congress has a clear strategy on running the government despite repeated claims of the BJP and BRS leaders about its future.
