Political fallout of what should have been BJP covert operation leads to TRS and Saffron deal charges and counter-charges
Hyderabad: Telangana is at the center of a political storm with just five days left and the atmosphere is set to get hotter with just five days left after sabotaging the BJP’s covert operation to buy four MLAs in Telangana Rashtra Samithi (now Bharat Rashtra Samithi) Campaign ahead of the November 3rd Munugode vote.
The three were arrested by Cyberabad police while acting as BJP agents and were further questioned on Thursday before appearing in court. Police have charged three persons under IPC Sections 120-B (criminal conspiracy), 171-B (attempt to bribe), 171-E (bribery), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 34 (criminal conduct of several persons) ) and section 8 of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
In a complaint filed with the police, Tandur MLA pilot Rohit Reddy said Ramachandra Bharati and Nanda Kumar had contacted him a month ago and offered him Rs 100 crore in addition to the central government contract. He was asked to join him with three other people who will receive Rs 50 crore each. He said if lawmakers did not join the BJP, they would also be threatened with ED and CBI attacks.
As police intensify their investigation, what should have been the political fallout of the BJP’s covert operation resulted in both TRS and Saffron dealing charges and counter-charges, and the BJP also asked the High Court to investigate the CBI affair.
On the other hand, TRS supporters burned portraits of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and the BJP across the state, and almost all TRS ministers and MLAs took turns to slam the BJP for trying to carry out Improper dealings.
From Vineet Narain to Yogendra Yadav to Prashanth Bhushan and HD Kumaraswamy and several other political analysts, veteran journalists and politicians, the action was also condemned across the country, noting that the BJP was making a mockery of democracy.
Finding itself cornered with its back against the wall, the BJP deployed all of the state’s top leaders, from union minister G Kishan Reddy, state president Bandi Sanjay Kumar to Rajya Sabha MP K Laxman and Nizamabad MP D Aravind, to face the media.
Desperate firefighting saw an attempt to push the ball into the TRS courtroom by filing charges against Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao for a court-supervised investigation by the Special Investigation Unit, CBI and current judges.
The party has reportedly been affected by the revelations and is still trying to quell internal divisions over the matter, with Kishan Reddy and Bandi Sanjay Kumar apparently engaging in a finger-pointing game. Kishan Reddy appeared flustered at a news conference, his second since the news broke, and struggled to stay on the board when repeatedly asked about his relationship to one of those arrested. face.
Meanwhile, in Munugode at the polls, the Moinabad farmhouse incident dominated the campaign, especially the TRS and Congress, while the earthquake ostensibly disrupted the campaign of BJP candidate Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy.
He reportedly scaled back his campaign, citing fever, after speaking for less than 20 minutes at Choutuppal and less than 10 minutes at Gudrapally and Angadipet.
