BJP leaders are criticizing the under current agreement between TRS and Congress. “BJP is gaining the ground as its vote bank has been enhancing. Congress leaders are indirectly working for TRS because of their business interests and real estate ventures. Telangana people voted for Congress and 19 candidates won as MLAs, but 10 of them defected to TRS. That’s the reason, sincere leaders are leaving Congress. Ponguleti Sudhakar Reddy, Vijayarama Rao and other Congress leaders are joining BJP. Senior leader and former minister DK Aruna and former TRS Lok Sabha floor leader Jithender Reddy have already joined BJP. This is showing the increasing strength of BJP in Telangana,” said Dr K Laxman.
