In a sensational revelation, BJP Legislature Party leader A Maheshwar Reddy alleges that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy is not feeling comfortable in Congress Party and attempting to quit the party with seizable number of MLAs.
According to him, Revanth Reddy is doing exercise to poach about 25 MLAs from BRS and other parties, so that to form a separate group with a section of Congress MLAs and continue as Chief Minister.
Referring to recent statement of the chief minister that a conspiracy is going on against him to defeat Congress in the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls from Mahabubnagar, he said this shows his `insecurity’ within Congress.
“To make his position strong in the party, the CM is trying to poach 25 MLAs from BRS and other parties. This was confirmed by Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy, who claimed that 25 MLAs are in touch with the CM,” he added.
Stating that Revanth Reddy is considering various alternatives in this regard, Maheshwar Reddy said that “Plan ‘A’ of Revanth Reddy is to know how many people will be with him if he is in Congress. And plan ‘B’ is to find out how many leaders will come out of the party if he forms his own party.
Presently, the BJP leader asserted that there is no threat to Revanth Reddy to continue as Chief Minister from oppositoin parties. But, he said the real threat comes from within Congress only. He said that as many as over 10 Congress leaders were competing for the post of Chief Minister.
That’s why, he said that the Chief Minister was not comfortable in Congress as he had threats from his own party leaders. “CM himself declaring that Congress leaders are trying to defeat the party’s Mahabubnagar candidate in the Lok Sabha elections is an indication about the insecure situation prevailing in the party,”he said.
With regard to BJP, the Legislature Party leader asserted that all their MLAs are in tack and no one from his party is in touch with Chief Minister. “Even if the gates and the windows are opened no one will join Congress from BJP,” he added.
According to him, there were five Shinde’s in the Congress party, hence there was no need for other parties to pull down the government. “We don’t have to do anything. They will fight among themselves and the government will collapse,”he said.
