The BJP state leader in Telangana, Bandi Sanjay Kumar, has dismissed claims that the Congress party is becoming an alternative to the ruling BRS in the state. He said that certain quotes are trying to belittle the BJP and project Congress as an alternative, but the recent Karnataka assembly elections show that BJP has retained its voting percentage while the number of seats has gone down. Congress gained more votes and seats, but this was due to a large-scale transfer of votes from JDS. Kumar accused Congress of playing communal politics to gain minority votes and said that they will not succeed in Telangana. He predicted that Congress, BRS, MIM, and Communists will work together in future elections, but this will not stop the victory of BJP.
Kumar also criticized the state government for pushing people into debt and not paying government staff on time. He said that only BJP can deliver justice and bring development to the state.
