BJP indulging in political 'horse-trading' in Telangana: TRS' K Kavitha

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao's daughter and MLC K Kavitha on Wednesday accused the BJP of intimidating TRS leaders and using "horse-trading" tactics to lure them into the saffron party. Addressing TRS cadres at a meeting in Yellareddy assembly constituency, she said the only policy that BJP preaches is 'Ram-Ram Japna, Paraya Leader Apna', where if the party fails in its horse trading attempts, it uses central agencies to harass leaders of opposition parties. Indirectly referring to some BJP leaders who did not appear before the SIT which is probing into the TRS MLAs poaching case, Kavitha said that despite summons being issued, if the BJP did no wrong why were they evading the investigating panel and knocking the doors of courtroom. She further said the BJP does not have any organisational strength in Telangana and they are misusing their power and money to threaten leaders of other parties to join them. "We are the people of Telangana, we cannot be threatened - we
