HYDERABAD:
BJP state president
Bandi Sanjay
on Saturday sparked a controversy by claiming that the
TRS government in
Telangana will collapse any time after the
GHMC elections. He also hinted at mid-term elections which his party will win. TRS reacted sharply saying the BJP was day-dreaming given that they had only two MLAs in the assembly of 119 seats.
“We will sweep the GHMC elections on December 4 after which the TRS MLAs will revolt against
chief minister KCR
,” said Sanjay. Addressing roadshows in
Ramnagar
and other areas after paying tributes to Telangana martyrs, Sanjay said the corrupt TRS government would fall. “KCR will surely go to jail. Everyone knows that KCR is involved in the fake passport scam. The central government will resolve these issues soon,” he said.
Reacting sharply, minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav said the BJP has just two MLAs in Telangana and is talking about toppling a democratically elected government. “Indiscriminate comments by a joker like Bandi Sanjay only reflect the poor selection by BJP to lead the party in Telangana. His comments would only result in further denting the popularity of
PM Modi on whose charisma the BJP aims to win elections. Sanjay’s lack of knowledge on what to speak or not will harm the BJP more than benefit it,” the minister said.
Earlier, Sanjay sought to caution police against backing an unstable government and said they should stop reading out the script of the CM on a conspiracy to create communal disturbance in the city. Referring to police case booked against him, Sanjay said he is not going to get intimidated. He reiterated that BJP will conduct a surgical strike to identify Rohingya and anti-social elements in
the Old City
and hand over them to police. “The BJP will definitely teach a lesson to those who are supporting Pakistan,” he warned.
