BJP MP claims KTR was open to political alliance, but on one condition
According to Ramesh, KTR had laid out his condition as dropping the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probes against his sister K Kavitha.
"Did Kalvakuntla Tarka Rama Rao forget that he came to my house in Delhi? It's recorded in CCTV - and I can share it with the media... Didn't he ask for ED, CBI probes to be stopped against Kavitha and others and asked to talk to HM (Home Minister)? Didn't he say that if the investigation is stopped, BRS would merge with BJP?" CM Ramesh asked.
The latest claim comes amid a heated exchange of salvos among the BJP and the BRS leaders. KTR had denied ever suggesting any merger with the BJP.
KTR denies proposing a merger of BRS with the BJP
BRS working president KTR has vehemently denied the allegations that he proposed a merger between his party and the BJP.
KTR reiterated that the BRS will never merge with any other party. He said that the BRS was born for Telangana and remains committed to the state's welfare.
The BRS leader alleged a secret understanding and collusion between Telangana chief minister Revanth Reddy and BJP MP CM Ramesh, in large government contracts awarded to Andhra Pradesh contractors in Telangana.
'To divert attention from these scams, they are bringing up the useless and useless issue of merging with the BJP again. The party born for the people of Telangana.. The party that fights for the people of Telangana is not now.. The people of Telangana know that there is no question of merging with any party ever. Every time they are in trouble, both Congress and BJP are trying to confuse the people of Telangana by bringing up this useless issue,' KTR wrote in a post on X.
KTR also challenged Revanth Reddy and Ramesh to take him on in a public debate on these alleged scams.

BJP slams Chidambaram over ‘homegrown terrorists' remark on Pahalgam attack
New Delhi: Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram's remark suggesting that the terrorists involved in Pahalgam terror attack may have been "homegrown" rather than from Pakistan has sparked intense political backlash, with BJP leaders accusing the Congress of shielding terror sponsors and disrespecting national security concerns. Union Minister Anurag Thakur reacted sharply, stating: 'It is clearly visible that whenever India faced a terrorist attack, Congress never spoke against Pakistan. Take the 26/11 attack, for example, Congress did nothing and failed to give a strong response.' BJP MP CP Joshi questioned the Congress party's past actions saying, 'Before 2014, the country witnessed several terrorist attacks. Did you ever try to eliminate those terrorists or the masterminds behind the camps?' Chidambaram questioned government's immediate attribution of the attack to Pakistan, saying, 'What if they were homegrown terrorists? Why have you assumed they came from Pakistan? Where is the evidence? Has the NIA identified them? Where did they come from? Has the NIA revealed anything? Perhaps the terrorists were created here. The government is also hiding the extent of damage India suffered.' BJP MP Arun Govil, best known for portraying Lord Ram on screen, added: 'There can be no bigger lie in this world than what Chidambaram has said.' Former Maharashtra Minister and BJP leader Raj Purohit took it a step further: 'If they weren't Pakistanis, maybe they were Congressmen. Chidambaram has been the Home and Finance Minister, he knows things common people don't.' Even the Opposition appeared to distance itself from the remark. NCP (SP faction) leader Amar Sharadrao Kale said, 'I haven't heard the full statement, but the entire world knows who is behind these attacks. Pakistan's role is clear. We must respond in their own language.' Chidambaram's comments come ahead of a crucial Parliament debate on Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam attack.

Mamata asks officials to ensure no harassment during voter roll revision
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday directed officials to ensure that people are not harassed in the name of electoral roll revision, even as she accused the BJP of targeting not just religious minorities, but also the poor and other backward classes (OBCs). Chairing an administrative review meeting at Bolpur in Birbhum district, Banerjee announced that a dedicated scheme will be launched to assist the alleged persecuted Bengali migrants who have returned from other states amidst rising cases of harassment. "The scheme must include provisions to help them return safely, issue ration and job cards, and provide temporary shelters to those without a place to stay," the chief minister said. Banerjee said the alleged "persecution" of Bengali-speaking migrants in various states is a "deliberate" and "politically motivated" act. "Not just religious minorities, the poor and OBCs are being targeted by them (the BJP). We must stand beside all persecuted Bengali migrants," she asserted. She instructed police and administrative officials to play an active role in implementing the 'Amar Para, Amar Samadhan' (Our Neighbourhood, Our Solution) scheme aimed at resolving local civic and security issues. The chief minister's remarks come amidst a politically charged atmosphere in the state following reports of alleged harassment of Bengali migrants in states like Gujarat, Haryana, Rajasthan, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra, which have triggered widespread concern among families back home.
