BJP split in open after Arvind attack on Bandi Sanjay

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: Apparent differences, and indications that unity among senior leaders in the party is still a very elusive commodity, were once again the topic of the day in the BJP in Telangana following comments by the party’s Nizamabad MP Dharmapuri Arvind on party state president Bandi Sanjay Kumar. While Arvind said it was for Sanjay to take back his words on Kavitha, what appeared to have caught several party leaders unawares was his comment on how the party president’s post is not one of wielding power but is one whose task is coordination. Meanwhile, Arvind’s comments found support from the BJP’s former national executive member Shekhar Rao Perala, who on his Facebook page, said what Arvind said, should have been in fact, talked about by the likes of senior party leaders like G. Kishan Reddy or Dr K. Laxman. He further said he was ready to prove Sanjay’s “my way or the highway attitude, insulting long-time party workers and leaders, financial selfishness, and a use and throw approach.” The state BJP, right now, he said, was taking three steps forward and six steps backward.
