A clear picture on the political road to be taken by former Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) leaders, Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy and Jupally Krishna Rao, will emerge within 10 days even as they seem to be distancing themselves from the invitation sent by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders to join them.
“We will take a call after 10 days,” a close associate of Mr. Srinivas Reddy told The Hindu even as news emerged that the meeting between them and BJP MLA Eatala Rajender failed to convince them to join the BJP. The leaders apparently met at a secret location leaving their security for an open talk but the deadlock continues. Both the leaders, whose only aim seems to defeat the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS), were said to have sought details on BJP’s plans to decimate the BRS.
Whether they will join the Congress or start their own political outfit is a question that they are not willing to answer as of now but their followers are of the opinion that they should shed the idea of a political platform as that would not fit into the scheme of Telangana politics as of now. The Congress, on the other hand, is hopeful of drawing them into their fold.
