Hyderabad Desk

Hyderabad; The BRS party on Wednesday alleged that the second accused A Rajashekhar Reddy is a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and has put out photos of him wearing the saffron party’s shawl along with social media posts in support of the party.

Responding to BRS leader Jagan Patimeedi’s post claiming the same, Telangana minister KT Rama Rao said that just to malign the state government, the BJP seems to have hatched a ‘conspiracy’. He asked the state DGP to investigate this matter thoroughly.

“Even by the very low standards of BJP, this is vulgarity at its worst Just to malign Telangana Govt, BJP seems to have hatched a conspiracy to destroy the lives of innocent youth I request the @TelanganaDGP Garu to enquire this matter thoroughly and bring perpetrators to justice,” he tweeted.
