The core committee meeting of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday saw the participants raising questions on the ‘friendship’ between the former and BRS, saying the perception of both the parties working together has dampened the spirits of BJP leaders and the cadre.
The meeting, which was attended by former Union Minister Prakash Javadekar and State BJP president G. Kishan Reddy, among others, sought clarity on the sudden change in the party’s attitude towards BRS. Some of them made clear that unless MLC K. Kavitha was arrested, people were not going to believe the party. After creating an impression that the BJP was serious about dealing with corruption allegations against the BRS, top leadership going back on it had sent the wrong signals.
Mr. Javadekar is said to have clarified that there was no understanding between the BJP and BRS. Regarding Ms. Kavitha’s arrest in the Delhi liquor scam, he said that law would take its own course.
