We fought the BRS but Congress Party benefited: Kishan Reddy

While it was the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which had fought hard against the BRS party and its policies in the last few years, it is the Congress Party that benefited and has managed to come to power with a “tiny” majority, observed Telangana BJP president and Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy.

“The Congress Party has just got over the simple majority mark unlike the decisive majority obtained by the BJP in the remaining States which went to polls including Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan as also Chattisgarh. I am not trying to belittle its victory here, but till now there is no clarity on their Chief Minister candidate,” he remarked, speaking to the media at the party office on Monday.

The BJP chief admitted that the party did not do well as per its expectations in the Assembly polls and accused the Congress and BRS of distributing money liberally to come up with trumps as well as spreading “false narratives against the saffron party”. He also vowed to make it ready on a warfooting for the Parliament elections next, where he expects it win hands down without much ado.
