- IREDDY SRINIVAS REDDY | DC

President of the BJP's state unit Dr K. Laxman on Wednesday said that Chief Minister K. Chandrasek­har Rao's political “graph” has fallen after he came to power for the second time, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "graph" has gone up.

Addressing the media at the party office on Wednesday, he said that several TRS MLAs were in touch with him. He said they would like to join the BJP, so that they could work in accordance with the provisions of the Constituti­on.

Dr Lxman said that many MLAs of the ruling party were waiting for the people to rebel against the state government. He also said that once the people raised their voices against the current government, many MLAs would leave the TRS.

Dr Lakshman said that the implementa­tion of several welfare schemes, including the Rythu Bandhu, Kalyana Lakshmi and Asara pensions, have been halted due to lack of funds, but the TRS government was misleading the people by projecting false figures.

The BJP leader said that there was no debate on Hyderabad being made "the second capital" of the country.

The BJP leader also said that former Maharashtr­a Governor Vidyasagar Rao

has also become silent about the "second capital" issue.

He said his party was well prepared for the upcoming municipal polls and would contest in all Urban Local Bodies.

He said that like at Nandyal in Andhra Pradesh, where the then ruling Telugu Desam had

won but lost in 2019, in Huzurnagar, though the ruling TRS has won now, it will lose in the 2023 elections. Dr Laxman said that the Telangana State Road Transport Corporatio­n (TSRTC) was not under the Union Government and the Centre was not intervenin­g in the strike issue.
