Rajgopal\'s Exit Shows BJP-Congress Nexus, Says Harish

Hyderabad: BRS minister T. Harish Rao on Wednesday claimed that Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy’s decision to quit the BJP for the Congress was evidence of the two parties working in cahoots to undo the “hard work done by Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao”.

Addressing a BRS workers’ meeting at Sadashivpet of Sangareddy district, Harish Rao said Rajgopal Reddy rejoining the Congress was part of a larger conspiracy hatched by BJP state president G. Kishan Reddy.

He said the two Komatireddy brothers, Venkat Reddy and Rajgopal Reddy, even when they were in different parties, were allied. “Venkat Reddy, while being in Congress, supported the BJP in which his younger brother was in and the Congress extended its unconditional support to the BJP and Rajgopal Reddy. These two parties worked together in the last three bypolls in the state,” Harish Rao said.

Further, he claimed that the Congress continued to claim that BRS was ‘BJP’s B Team’ to cover up its own tie-up with the BJP.

“Kishan Reddy and Congress state chief A. Revanth Reddy speak to each other every day as part of their dark deals as they are unable to digest KCR’s success and state’s development. While KCR has a vision for the state, BJP and Congress have only poison in their minds,” Harish Rao said.
