The BJP was also planning to abolish SC, ST reservations if it got two-thirds majority in the Parliament, apart from planning to shift Godavari water from Telangana to other States on the pretext of interlinking of rivers.
So, it was necessary to elect more number of BRS MPs to prevent the Centre from such moves, Rama Rao said while participating in a party meeting here on Sunday.
Reacting to Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy’s comments that both the BRS and BJP had entered into a deal for the parliament elections, Rama Rao asked if it that was true, why would the BJP sent MLC K Kavitha to jail. It was the BRS that defeated BJP MLA candidates Bandi Sanjay Kumar, Etala Rajender, Dharmapuri Arvind and M Raghunandan Rao in the recent Assembly polls.
Now, Revanth Reddy had fielded dummy candidates in Malkajgiri and Chevella segments to help BJP aspirants, so who were actually in a deal was evident, he said.
Revanth Reddy had said that BRS would not win a single MP seat. On the other hand, Roads and Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy had said he would resign if the BRS won one seat. Bandi Sanjay had also said he would retire from politics if BRS candidate B Vinod Kumar was elected in Karimnagar, Rama Rao pointed out.
