New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) 'T-operation' netted their first catch, a senior Congress leader and former MLA Nandeeswar Goud, here on Monday.Goud, accompanied by the BJP State President Dr Laxman, joined the party on Monday in the presence of BJP national president Amit Shah.
Later speaking to the media, Goud said he was fed up with the Congress opposing the move of BJP to accord Constitutional status to the BC Commission. "I was pained to see the Congress opposing the bill in the Rajya Sabha. Several Congress leaders in the State are fed up with the double standards and opportunistic policies of the Congress leadership", he said justifying his move. He said the demonetisation move by the BJP government helped him make the decision.
Referring to the TRS government, he said the ruling party was anti-people and neglecting farmers' interests. It was not keeping the party’s manifesto promises, he said. "The only future for the people lies with the BJP. Modi and Amit Shah can lead the country to prosperity and progress", he added.It may be recalled that the BJP leadership had already indicated that half a dozen Congress leaders from different districts in Telangana were in consultations with BJP along with some TRS leaders.
