TDP plotting to defeat BJP in Karnataka: Manikyala Rao

Former minister and BJP leader Pydikondala Manikyala Rao alleged that the TDP was trying to defeat the BJP in Karnataka polls. Talking to mediapersons, he said the TDP had sent special teams to Karnataka to influence social groups from the Telugu community living here. He said that the BJP central leadership was aware of this and that reports were being sent from time to time about the TDP’s attempts to hit at the BJP.

He said Chandrababu and the TDP will have to pay a heavy price for this backstabbing. He said no one now believes Chandrababu especially after Pawan Kalyan’s comments on Chandhrababu Naidu’s corruption. He said though 80 per cent of the Kapus were wth Pawan, it remains to be seen how Pawan makes his political moves.

Charging the TDP with resorting to dirty tricks, Manikyala Rao said that the speaker was not giving mike to the BJP members despite repeated requiest. He said the assembly was being run in a unilateral manner.
