Hyderabad, Dec 6: Veteran actress Vijayashanthi has quit the Congress and will join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday. She is expected to meet Home Minister Amit Shah after joining the BJP in New Delhi. Telangana BJP chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar has reportedly left for Delhi from Hyderabad.
Vijayashanthi had first joined the BJP in 1998 and was made the secretary of BJP's Women's Wing. During the Telangana separate statehood movement, she worked closely with TRS chief KCR. She then became an MP from Medak on a TRS ticket and represented the constituency between 2009-2014. She parted her way from TRS and joined the Congress in 2014.
During the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Vijayashanti made a scathing remark at PM Modi, referring to him as a “terrorist”, while speaking at a public gathering in Telangana’s Shamshabad. “Everyone is scared that at what moment Modi will shoot the bomb. He looks like a terrorist. Instead of loving people, he is scaring people. It’s not the way how a PM should be,” she said.
On Friday after GHMC results, she had taken down the Telangana Rashtriya Samithi, saying: "The sick TRS, which had secured at least 100 divisions, eventually had to settle for almost a third of the total positions. Voters are well aware that the promises of the leaders cannot be written on water.
With the conspiracy not to give a chance to the opposition ... knowing that the polling percentage will decrease during the consecutive holidays ... they went to the polls in a span of days. New voters were not given time to register and correct mistakes in the lists. Those who went to other places, the names of the dead appeared in the lists.
TRS leaders have expressed optimism that the mayoral post will have a few less seats. On the other hand, without the support of the MIM, the TRS would not have won the mayoral seat.
Will the two be on the same page in the case of the mayoral pedestal? If not ... TRS should say that even if the mayor does not get elected, he will not join the MIM ... Let the Hung Corporation come and prepare for the elections again. The time is now approaching when the original color of the twins will emerge."
