AICC incharge for Telangana Manikrao Thakare called on former CLP leader K. Jana Reddy and Nalgonda MP N. Uttam Kumar Reddy on Saturday with reports emerging that they were being wooed by the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) to counter the joinings into the Congress.
Mr. Thakare called on Mr. Jana Reddy and held discussions with him on the party and the strategies to be adopted with the elections around. He reportedly raised the rumours of Mr. Jana Reddy’s son being wooed by the BRS which the latter rejected outright. Mr. Reddy was said to have explained that these were rumours floated against him.
Later, he called on Mr. Uttam Kumar Reddy, who is undergoing treatment for some ailment, at his residence. The issue of BRS wooing him was apparently raised and Mr. Uttam was said to have blamed some people within the party for floating such rumours to damage his reputation.
