Pointing out that the BJP had sent its Karnataka MLA to jail for corruption Union Tourism Minister G. Kishan Reddy said that the CBI arrested Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia as it had proof of his involvement in the Delhi liquor scam.
However, he said that the arrest of BRS MLC Kavitha is not in their hands as it comes under the CBI. He said that anyone who engages in corruption should be arrested and that the arrest of Kavitha if it happens is not a big thing.
In a chit-chat with the media on Sunday at the BJP office here, Kishan said that there is no question of changing the Telangana BJP’s president. Reports about changing the party president are baseless, he said.
“We are one family. It is common for our leaders to meet the party’s national leaders,” Kishan said.
Making it clear that Karnataka election results won’t have any effect on Telangana politics, Kishan said that there is no future for the Congress and that the BJP is the only alternative to the BRS.
He said that it is true that some development took place in the last decade in TS but the KCR family and BRS MLAs are neck deep in corruption.
Kishan said the AIMIM is running the BRS unit in Maharashtra. He pooh-poohed the BRS for celebrating the victory of a panchayat ward member in Maharashtra.
KCR, who cheated the people of Telangana saying that he will go to Maharashtra and develop it and criticising Modi is ironic, he said.
He said that KCR has handed over Telangana to his advisors and has opened a branch of his party in Maharashtra. KCR is aiming to induct people rejected by other parties into the BRS in Maharashtra, he added.
Kishan said that only the corrupt are opposing the demonetisation of Rs 2,000 notes. “The BJP has its own plan for demonetising Rs 2,000 notes,” he added.
