Hyderabad: Workers of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) on Friday attacked the residence of Nizamabad BJP MP Dharmapuri Arvind in Banjara Hills over his remarks on MLC Kavitha Kalavkuntla. The BJP MP is currently in Nizamabad during the time of the attack. One of the security personnel sustained a minor injury.
The TRS workers also protested in front of the BJP MP’s house.
BJP MP Arvind Dharmapuri on Thursday alleged that Kavitha, TRS MLC, and daughter of Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao called up Congress party president Mallikarjun Kharge and expressed her interest to join the party.
Arvind reacted to the incident and said that the attack was conducted by the ‘TRS goons’ after orders from chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao, IT minister KT Rama Rao and MLC Kavitha. “They have destroyed things and created terror. They even terrorised my mother!” the MP said tagging Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Twitter.
Talking to media at state party headquarters in Hyderabad, Arvind also alleged that she took the decision due to unhappiness over her father.
Arvind also claimed that KCR was aware of the development.
He made the above remarks as a response to KCR’s claims that the BJP is trying to lure his daughter and MLC Kavitha into its fold.
Arvind stated that there is no necessity for Kavitha to join BJP though KCR recently alleged that the saffron party had asked her to join.
Arvind said that he would request BJP National President JP Nadda, and state president Bandi Sanjay Kumar to suspend if any leader takes an initiative to bring Kavitha into the party fold.
