South leaders get support from BJP
To expand the party in the South, the BJP is trying to include as many political parties it can directly or indirectly into its fold. For this, it is not missing out any chance.
In fact, except in Karnataka, the BJP has no base in other southern states to come to power on its own. After its fallout with the Telugu Desam, the BJP is now exploiting the rift between Pawan Kalyan and Chandrababu Naidu.
The BJP has come out in support of Kalyan’s imaginary rants against Naidu. Pawan Kalyan had alleged on Friday that to defame him and abuse his mother, a conspiracy has been hatched and that a Cabinet minister is also involved in this. The BJP to please Pawan Kalyan has demanded a high-level probe headed by a retired High Court judge on the allegations by the actor

remarks against the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for denying Special Category Status to AP.
The BJP follows the “enemy’s enemy is our friend” policy.
Former minister and BJP MLA P. Manikyala Rao said: “Since a Cabinet minister has been mentioned in the allegations made by Pawan Kalyan, the government should order a high-level probe by a retired High Court judge or by the police and prove that the government is clean and that no minister is behind the slander as alleged. The government should also take action against those involved in the conspiracy, if found guilty.”
A day after Nandamuri Balakrishna’s outburst against PM Modi, the BJP carried out protests against the actor and Telugu Desam MLA and burnt his effigies across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Speaking to newsmen, BJP MLC, Somu Veer Raju raised serious objection to the tone and tenor of aspersion cast on Mr Modi during the CM Naidu’s Dharma Porata Deeksha held recently with a demand for according special category status. He alleged that when the legislator was using such uncivilised language, the CM was seen smiling instead of condemning it.
The situation was no better in Nellore as tension prevailed at the Trunk Road when BJP and TD cadres came to blows after the saffron party men set fire to the effigy of film star Balakrishna near the Gandhi statue on Saturday.
Activists of both the TD and the BJP came face to face when the former came to perform an
abhishekam to the statue of Mahatma Gandhi to mark their protest against the Centre for not granting the special category status to Andhra Pradesh.
Unable to bear the sight of them torching the effigy of Balakrishna, the TD men led by Kuvvarapu Balaji and Thane Masthan attacked the BJP cadres and the latter also retaliated, though their numbers were less. As many as eight BJP men were injured in the melee and they were rushed to Jayabharat Hospital for treatment.
In Visakhapatnam, leaders and activists of BJP led by Visakhapatnam North MLA, P. Vishnu Kumar Raju, and MLC P.V.N. Madhav, on Saturday, met the Governor of AP and Telangana ESL Narasimhan in the city, seeking action against Balakrishna.
Vishnu Kumar Raju and Madhav submitted a memorandum to Mr Narasimhan, who is in Visakhapatnam city, and they requested the Governor to take appropriate action against Balakrishna for his objectionable and unparliamentary language and use of gestures denigrating the PM during the ‘Dharma Porata Deeksha’ in Vijayawada on Friday.
In their memorandum, the saffron party leaders mentioned that Balakrishna defamed PM Modi and his speech transgressed the limits of decency as it also included a threat against Modi, they added.
Being an MLA, Balakrishna should speak in decent language, but what sort of language has he used, they pointed out. Besides dismissing Balakrishna from his MLA post, the Chief Minister should also arrest him for making derogatory remarks while holding a public office.
Tirupati was also not without response to the comments by Balakrishna, and here, senior BJP leader and former TTD board member, Mr Bhanu Prakash Reddy, approached police and complained about Nandamuri Balakrishna at the SP office in Tirupati on Saturday.
