BJP welcomes BRS leaders

Welcoming the politicians to the BJP fold, Laxman called Ramulu, the BRS MP from the Nagarkurnool Lok Sabha constituency, the “most dedicated Dalit leader” in Telangana.

“I welcome Ramulu to the BJP on behalf of the party chief JP Nadda. I also welcome other leaders of the BRS joining the BJP along with him. All these leaders have quit BRS and joined the BJP,” Chugh said at a press conference at the party headquarters here.

He said the leaders joined the BJP as they were impressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s policies and the work that his government has done for the development of the country.

“From Kashmir to Kanyakumari and from Kutch to Guwahati, every day some or the other big leaders, social workers, doctors, engineers, who have dedicated their lives for the society, are joining the BJP,” Chugh added.

Chandrasekhar said, “I am happy and grateful that they have joined Team Modi.”

“In Prime Minister Modi’s efforts, vision and sankalp (resolve) to create a viksit Bharat (developed India), we all will work together as party workers and leaders to deliver on that goal of our prime minister,” the MeitY MoS added.
