Kiran Kumar Reddy’s hush-hush meeting recently with BJP Chief Amit
Shah in Delhi meets more than eye. There are reports that Kiran Kumar
Reddy made it clear to the BJP president that BJP in AP can only
capture power provided there is one condition.
Venkayya
Naidu should be removed with immediate effect especially in terms of
his clout with Chandrababu. Even the RSS has received complaints from
the AP BJP that Venkayya Naidu has been making BJP, a 'mini-TDP' by
filling it with only the members of his community.
BJP
roping in Purandeswari and Kavuri Samba Siva Rao, seen as traitors to
the Samaikhyandhra cause is seen as a major reason for BJP lacking
credibility. It is Purandeswari, Kavuri and Venkayya Naidu who are
halting Kiran's entry into the BJP.
But sources
say that Amit Shah is very keen on getting Kiran on board to humiliate
Congress chief Sonia Gandhi by showing how they have their former
Congress chief minister. BJP leadership is already angry with Venkayya
for blocking Botcha Satyanarayana's entry who could have brought some
Kapu vase.
