Jana Sena Party’s political affairs committee chairman Nadendla Manohar called on BJP national executive member Kanna Lakshminarayana on Wednesday.
Later, addressing the media, Mr. Manohar and Mr. Lakshminarayana said they would work for the defeat the YSRCP in the elections.
Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy had pushed the State into a crisis, they alleged.
Meanwhile, JSP district president B. Srinivasa Yadav ruled out the possibility of inviting Mr. Lakshminarayana into the party.
“It was just a courtesy call. The leaders did not discuss anything about internal differences in the BJP,” Mr. Srinivasa Yadav said.
The meeting assumed significance in the wake of Mr. Lakshminarayana’s recent comments that the BJP State president Somu Veerraju did not handle the alliance in a proper manner.
While residents are worried over deaths due to diarrhoea in Vijayawada, officials still grapple to find the root cause. Contaminated drinking water supplied by VMC officials is the reason, insist people in the affected areas, but officials insist that efforts are on to identify the disease and that those with symptoms other than diarrhoea too are visiting the health camps.
