Hyderabad: Suspended BJP leader Jitta Balakrishna Reddy on Saturday levelled serious allegations against party State unit chief G Kishan Reddy accusing him of weakening the party in the State. Balakrishna Reddy, who hails from Yadadri Bhongir district, was suspended on Wednesday for anti-party activities by Kishan Reddy.

Speaking to the media, Balakrishna Reddy alleged that the decision of the party leadership to replace Bandi Sanjay and handover the reins of the party to Kishan Reddy was a bad decision. Bandi Sanjay had brought a lot of enthusiasm among the party functionaries and created a hype in the State, whereas, Kishan Reddy during his previous tenures could not take the party beyond Hyderabad, he said. “Kishan Reddy did nothing for the party. In fact, he had weaken the party,”he alleged.
