As the BJP-BRS leadership continues to be locked in a bitter fight after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s comments on Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao’s request to join the NDA, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) chief A. Revanth Reddy alleged that both parties were planning to join hands in the Lok Sabha polls.
At a press conference in Hyderabad on Wednesday, Mr. Revanth Reddy said that recently in the Parliament during the special session, his BJP friends and a few BRS MPs told him that though there is no alliance between the BJP and the BRS in the Assembly, there will be an alliance in the parliamentary elections.

He claimed that in the Assembly elections, the BJP will contest in all seats and split the votes wherever Congress has a chance to win and in turn help BRS win the elections. In Lok Sabha elections, BRS will contest in nine seats, BJP will contest in seven seats, and MIM in one seat, he said.
Along with the four sitting seats, BJP asked for Malkajgiri, Mahbubnagar, and Chevella Lok Sabha seats. A BRS MP said that the decision on the alliance was also made; BRS is giving my seat to BJP, he quoted the leader as saying.
He referred to the Congress leader Rahul Gandhi terming BRS as BJP Rishtedar Party and said it was clear that Congress was on its way to winning the coming Assembly elections.
Mr. Revanth Reddy said the Prime Minister was touring Telangana to split the anti-incumbency votes and thus help the BRS. Accusing the Modi Government of failing to fulfil the AP Reorganisation Act promises, the TPCC chief charged that instead, the Prime Minister was making fun of the State.
