BJP state president Bandi Sanjay ruled out any electoral alliance with the Telugu Desam in either of the Telugu states.
Whispers of an alliance emerged after TD president N. Chandrababu Naidu met Union home minister Amit Shah and BJP president J.P. Nadda in New Delhi on Saturday.
"What is wrong if a former CM meets BJP leaders," Sanjay asked, during a tele-conference with district party leaders on Sunday. BRS leaders hesitate to meet people and Opposition leaders, but BJP leaders are accessible to
all, he said after party leaders asked him about the possibility of the TD alliance.
BJP was committed to national integrity and development of states and its national leadership could meet any leader, including Naidu, Sanjay said.
As BJP was gaining in strength in Telangana state, BRS, Congress and other forces were trying to defame it, he said. He claimed that the BRS, Congress, MIM and Communist parties will unite for the Assembly elections.
