BJP leader and party parliamentary board member K Laxman welcomed them and said while the leaders of other parties are working for the future of their sons and daughters, Modi is working for the country.
BJP general secretary Tarun Chugh said on the occasion that people are fed-up with “dynastic and corrupt” parties and praised these leaders for their work in different capacities.
The BRS is now a “triple B party”, Chugh said, describing them as “baba, beta and baby”, a reference to its president K Chandrashekar Rao, his son and daughter.
These three ran a corrupt government in the state, he alleged.
Prime Minister Modi’s work for 10 years with zero tolerance against corruption has impressed the people, he said.
