“Nadda will be coming to Koppala. I will be attending his event. Circumstantially I was unable to go to the program today due to some other reason. Now circumstances have arrived at a state now that suggests I must go. Therefore I am going. CM is also coming for the event. Both of us will attend the event together. There are no differences of opinion, confusion within us”, he informed.
“I will cover the length and breadth of the state. There are pro-BJP sentiments throughout the state. Under the leadership of Modi, Amit Shah, and Nadda, more events will be conducted in the state. As a result of all of this, we will resume power with a clear majority. There is no basis to the claim that the party has neglected me. I have been attending all the programs. Since it is not right for me to go to government events, I did not go, that’s all”, he said.
