TPCC working president T. Jayaprakash Reddy, commonly known as Jagga Reddy, has strongly criticized BJP MP K. Laxman for his comments on the survival of the Congress government in Telangana. Reddy condemned Laxman’s remarks, stating that the Congress would only grow stronger in the Assembly after the Parliament elections.
Reddy questioned Laxman’s claim that the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) would merge into the Congress, asserting that there was no reason for KCR, the chief of BRS, to merge his party into the Congress. Reddy confidently stated that Congress’s strength in the Assembly would reach 90 MLAs, and even BJP MLAs might prefer joining the Congress. He accused the BJP of deceiving people with false promises and urged Laxman to address the issue of unemployment rather than focusing on religious matters.
