BJP National Executive Committee Member Vijayashanthi may quit the BJP and may join the Congress in August, it is learnt.
Sources said Vijayashanthi has been making troubling comments against the BJP. She had expressed her unhappiness over former United AP Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy attending the oath-taking ceremony of Telangana BJP President G. Kishan Reddy.
Vijayashanthi tweeted on that day stating that she had left the programme in the middle as she felt uneasy sitting along with a politician (N. Kiran Kumar Reddy) who had tried to suppress the Telangana movement with an iron hand.However, after that, she published another troubling tweet on Tuesday on the Manipur issue. “The events in Manipur are making the entire country suffer. All members of society are ashamed. I want the criminals involved in the above action to be hanged,” she had tweeted.
Shocked at the tweet of Vijayashanthi, Telangana BJP leaders asked each other what had happened to her as the incident took place in BJP-ruled Manipur. However, many netizens praised Vijayashanthi stating that she is a daring leader.
In fact, Vijayashanthi re-tweeted her tweet saying, “Similarly, in West Bengal, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and anywhere else at any time, I think the evil deeds done by criminals are heinous. I believe that there should be an end to violence.”
