BJP and BRS conspiring together to topple Congress govt in Telangana: CM Revanth Reddy
Hyderabad, Mar 11: Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on Monday alleged that the BJP and BRS are conspiring together to destabilise the Congress government in Telangana.
Addressing a rally at Manuguru about 310 km from here, Reddy warned the opposition parties, saying he would not keep quiet if rubbed the wrong way.
"Both the parties are conspiring, as Congress is set to win 14 seats (in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls )," Reddy suggested.
"Dr Laxman (BJP MP) says this (Congress) government will not be there after the polls. I want to ask Dr Laxman, you (BJP) have only eight MLAs. How will you form the government with eight MLAs? I want to ask. That means BRS and BJP are unitedly conspiring to topple the government," Reddy said.
Furthermore, he said, the BJP and BRS have a tacit understanding whereby they are working to defeat the Congress in the upcoming polls.
Contending that several BRS leaders have been in touch with him and have assured support in case their party "causes any problems", he warned, "If we open the gates, several of your (BRS) leaders will come and join the Congress party."
