CPI national secretary K. Narayana said that the Left parties had distanced themselves from the BRS after Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao shifted his stance in favour of BJP.
The Left parties had set aside the alliance proposals made by the BRS after the latter started soft-pedalling the BJP, he asserted. Mr. Narayana criticised the BRS chief for the sudden change in his stand vis-a-vis the BJP and suspected that the alleged involvement of Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao’s daughter and MLC K. Kavitha in the excise policy irregularities could have led to the development.
Mr. Narayana was equally critical of the AIMIM alleging that the party was striving hard to bring the BJP back to power. “Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao too appears to have joined hands with the two parties,” he alleged.
