Reddy leaders from Telangana are queuing up to join BJP with a belief that Congress is dead in Telangana and BJP will be the only alternative for TRS in Telangana in the coming days.Congress MLA Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy, who has decided to join BJP soon, is making attempts to mobilise few more Reddy leaders to join BJP along with him.
Rajagopal Reddy held negotiations with Congress MLA Jagga Reddy and requested him to join BJP to take on TRS in 2023 Assembly polls.This apart, Telangana TDP leader Ravula Chandrasekhar Reddy, Peddi Reddy are also in touch with BJP leaders to join BJP.
In fact, Peddi Reddy secured appointment to meet BJP national president Amit Shah in Delhi today. TRS former MP AP Jithender Reddy already joined BJP before Lok Sabha polls.TRS former MP Konda Vishweshwar Reddy, who defected to Congress before Lok Sabha polls, is also willing to join BJP.Telangana Reddy leaders feel that since BJP is in power at the Centre, they can take on KCR in Telangana effectively.
If KCR uses his ‘power’ to control them or threaten them, then can control KCR with the help of Centre by opening previous and pending cases against him especially Sahara PF scam and irregularities in Mission Bhagiratha, irrigation projects etc.
Few Reddy leaders and MLAs from TRS are also learnt to be in touch with BJP.
Amit Shah is expected to visit Telangana next month after Parliament session ends during which a large scale migration of leaders from other parties to BJP in Telangana is expected.PM Modi and Amit Shah are learnt to have taken a firm decision to position BJP as a major political force in Telangana against TRS by 2023 Assembly polls and capture power in Telangana at any cost.
The BJP’s confidence levels in Telangana have increased after it won 4 Lok Sabha seats recently and after it trounced KCR’s daughter Kavitha in Nizamabad and KCR’s close aide B Vinod Kumar in Karimnagar Lok Sabha seats.
