Mahabubabad: TDP leaders set to join BJP

Mahabubabad: BJP is the only alternative to the TRS, the saffron party's State official spokesperson M Raghunandan Rao said. Speaking to media persons here on Thursday, he said that neither Congress nor TRS has stature to stand before BJP. "A host of Telugu Desam leaders including former legislators and MPs in Telangana are set to join the BJP in the near future," Rao said. The BJP has concern over resolving podu land issue; he said referring to the local demand. He said that BJP is ready to face the upcoming elections to the municipalities.

Earlier speaking at the Poru Garjana Sabha for the development of Pedda Cheruvu in Bayyaram, he said that though the TRS government is claiming credit for restoring several tanks under Mission Kakatiya programme, in reality it should be called as 'Commission Kakatiya'. He found fault with the TRS government for not developing Pedda Cheruvu constructed in the times of Kakatiyas.

"The TRS government disappointed people who expected their all-round development," Raghunandan Rao said, stating that there was no change in the lives of people even after the formation of Telangana. He said that people have faith in Narendra Modi-led BJP government.

He attributed credit to BJP government for development of Telangana.
