No impact on BJP from new parties: Rao

Hyderabad: Telangana BJP chief N Ramchander Rao said there would be no impact on the BJP even if new political parties are launched in the state.Reacting to Kalvakuntla Kavitha's Telangana Rashtra Sena (TRS) party, Rao said the BJP would come to power by securing a majority of seats in Telangana. He termed the new party a ‘political drama' orchestrated by the Kalvakuntla family.In a separate statement, BJP state chief spokesperson NV Subhash said the development only reinforces what the party has long maintained — that internal developments within the family of former chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao are being played out as calculated public spectacles rather than genuine political shifts. "Projecting a split and then attempting to reclaim the legacy of TRS under a different banner is both illogical and misleading," he said.tnn
