Vijayawada: BJP president Amit Shah on Friday reportedly made it clear to the leaders from Andhra Pradesh that the party would not hesitate to snap alliances with partners, if the latter created any hurdles for its expansion. Some leaders complained to the BJP chief that the Telugu Desam leaders in villages were preventing people from joining the BJP during the membership drive. They said they were even being intimidated by the TD cadres.
A visibly angry Shah was said to have explained to them that the BJP would not mind pulling out of alliance with the TDP, if such things recur. He asked them to face up to such bullying leaders and reach the target membership drive. As a political party, BJP had the right to strengthen its base regardless of how its alliance partner took it, he maintained. Shah was also understood to have assured the party leaders that he would speak to Chief Minister and TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu to get due share in all nominated posts for the BJP in the State.
