Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader and former minister T. Harish Rao has observed that party leaders who are being tempted by power, posts and money are defecting to the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) but the two parties cannot buy hardcore activists.
Speaking at the party’s preparatory meeting of Zahirabad Parliamentary Constituency held at Zahirabad on Saturday, he said the Congress had promised to implement six guarantees in 100 days after assuming power but it cited the election code as the reason for not implementing them, though the code had come into force only after the party’s 100 days in office.
He asked the people to vote for the Congress if they had received all the benefits as promised by them or else vote for the BRS. Further, he asked them to defeat B. B. Patil who had betrayed the BRS and joined the BJP. He stressed the need for elected BRS candidates as MPs.
