BJP's Media Statement

"CM KCR seems insecure and shaken with imminent possibility of BJP's rise across Telangana State, inclusive of immense prospects of winning majority seats in GHMC elections. 

KCR's reference of PM Narendra Modi and anuncing his plan to w a war against BJP led Central Government, was irrelevantly timed in run upto GHMC elections. BJP considers it as 'saber-rattling' and thing more. This is t first time KCR has threatened to build an anti-BJP alliance from Telangana. 

BJP doesn't feel threatened by se dummy rounds being fired by KCR in regular intervals. However, BJP is always ready and firedup to face ar adversary in any form.

KCR should t forget BJP's track record in fighting its political adversaries."
