Hyderabad: There were some interesting developments in the BJP state unit office here as newly appointed President G Kishan Reddy took office on Friday.
While all the speakers, including Kishan Reddy, spent a lot of time praising Bandy Sanjay’s leadership, the outgoing president used the opportunity to address his critics.
Sanjay, who was replaced after complaints from several party leaders about his style of operation, advises everyone not to make false complaints to the party leadership but to let Kishan Reddy run smoothly.”
Sanjay insisted: “You rushed to Delhi to complain about me and caused me a lot of trouble. I ask those leaders not to trouble Kishan Reddy. Let him work with peace of mind. Don’t betray the trust and confidence of hundreds of thousands of party members who are trying to bring the BJP to power in Telangana.”
It was a closely guarded secret that many leaders, including Italla Rajd, expressed reservations about Sanjay’s leadership and led to his ouster. By the way, Rajindal herself also went out of her way to praise Sanjay’s service.
Another dissonant note was the presence of former Andhra Pradesh chief minister Kiran Kumar Reddy, a staunch opponent in Telangana. No one can forget that, as chief minister, he taunted in the halls of parliament that he would not give Telangana a penny. Standing smiling next to Kishan Reddy is Kiran Kumar Reddy, whose camaraderie is not to the liking of many BJP workers and leaders.
In fact, Kiran Kumar Reddy has shown his hatred for Telangana by claiming that Telangana would be in darkness if Andhra Pradesh split. However, his presence on the podium was not pleasant for many.
Consciously or not, Kishan Reddy’s appointment has become Bandy Sanjay’s cheering event. Unions minister Prakash Javadekar also lavished praise on Sanjay, saying the padayatra he did changed the political landscape of the country and brought the BJP to the forefront of national politics. “Prime Minister Modi mentioned Sanjay’s padayatra in various public meetings and even asked the presidents of other countries to adopt such padayatra.
Earlier, Kishan Reddy clarified that his party would not enter into any kind of alliance or understanding with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BRS) in the upcoming state assembly elections.
Speaking to party staff after officially becoming head of the party state unit, Kishan Reddy said efforts were being made to create an impression that the BJP had some sort of understanding with the Socialist Party of India to create confusion among the people. “Our aim is to remove Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao from power. We have no intention of joining hands with BRS or any other party.”
He called on party members and cadres to prepare for the upcoming elections and strengthen grassroots party organizations. “The next 100 days are critical. We must persevere in our efforts, only then can we overthrow the BRS regime,” he said.
