K Laxman invites R Krishnaiah to join in BJP

Sitting MLA of LB Nagar assembly constituency and national president of BC Welfare Association, R Krishnaiah was welcomed by various parties to lure the BC vote bank in Telangana. But, he had declined them all. Now, Telangana BJP president K Laxman has offered MP seat to Krishnaiah if he is willing to join their party.Laxman's offer came a day after the BC leader was declared as CM candidate of 'Bahujana Left Front'. Speaking to the media reporters at his office on Wednesday, Laxman said BJP will announce the first list of 30 MLA candidates in first week of October.  Later in the month, party national president Amit Shah will hold a couple of huge public meetings in Karimnagar and Warangal. As BJP has decided to form no alliance with any party in Telangana, the party will directly field candidates in all the assembly seats.

In 2014 election, Krishnaiah was declared as Telugu Desham Party's Chief Ministerial candidate for Telangana. He emerged as triumphant from LB Nagar assembly with a majority of 12,525 votes but never involved in party activities later.The Telangana BJP president, who's representing Musheerabad assembly, also revealed that leaders from Telangana Jana Samithi (TJS) and Telangana Inti Party (TIP) are prepared to join BJP soon. He further added, 'we are willing to welcome Inti party leader and former legislator of Mahabubnagar, Yennam Srinivas Reddy and others unconditionally. In view of assembly polls, our party will conduct youth meetings in all constituencies across the state.'
