Nagarkurnool MLA Nagam Janardana Reddy on Sunday ridiculed the statement of TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao wherein he described the Bharatiya Janata Party as a communal party.
Talking to reporters here, Nagam said that KCR's statement was aimed at damaging the party's prospects in the next elections. He said if the BJP was a communal party, then why KCR met LK Advani after the last elections. He said that KCR's statements and actions were contradictory with regard to the BJP.
Stating that Telangana formation was not possible through sub-regional parties like TRS, Nagam expressed confidence that the BJP would come to power after next elections and would give Telangana. He said political empowerment of TRS would never result in formation of Telangana State. The TRS could only exert pressure on the Centre, whereas the BJP will grant statehood for the region if voted to power.
Nagam announced that he would formally join the BJP on June 3 during a public meeting at Nizam College Grounds.
