KTR throws the ball into BJP court on joining NDA, says ex-BJP state chief Laxman sent feelers

In the continuing war of words a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi claimed that Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) chief K. Chandrashekhar Rao had wished to join the NDA, which Mr. Rao had rejected, BRS Working President K. T. Rama Rao maintained that the party has never allied with any one during polls ever since Telangana was formed despite requests.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Mr. Rama Rao said: “In 2018, Biggest Jhoota Party through its State President Dr K Laxman sent feelers to ally with BRS. Could the offer have been made without the approval of his Delhi bosses?”.

He embedded the video of Dr. Laxman making the offer and claimed that the BRS had rejected the offer outright very next minute the it was made. “The political tourists with selective amnesia who are fabricating stories should know this,” he said.
