Hyderabad: A complaint was lodged against BRS Chevella MP G. Ranjit Reddy for abusing former MP and BJP senior leader Konda Vishweshwar Reddy on the phone. The Banjara Hills police, who received a complaint, said that they would take action.
In his complaint, Vishweshwar Reddy said that the BJP was admitting activists who wanted to switch from the BRS in Chevella constituency, which had sparked the BRS MP's abuse.
“A number of people from Chevella parliamentary constituency are in touch with me and expressed their willingness to join
The BJP," Vishweshwar Reddy said. This includes senior leaders and mandal leaders of the BRS.
"Unable to digest the developments, Ranjit Reddy called me on the phone and abused me in filthy language," Vishweshwar Reddy said.
Banjara Hills inspector P. Sateesh confirmed that they had received a complaint from Vishweshwar Reddy and were taking legal opinion before taking action.
Large number of BRS second rung leaders including sarpanchs, MPTCs, ZPTCs under the Chevella Lok Sabha constituency were deserting party to join the BJP ahead of general elections, apparently after their internal surveys revealed that the fight would be between the BJP and the Congress.
The BRS was in third place according to their surveys, sources said.
These surveys heated up political situation in the constituency, leading to largescale migration of BRS leaders into the BJP and the Congress.
