All the rumours of a TRS – BJP alliance has been dashed to the ground. In a surprise aggressive stance, BJP president Amit Shah has indicated that the saffron party will go to the Telangana polls alone. The BJP would not have any alliance with any party and it hoped to emerge as a “deciding factor” in the upcoming polls, he said.
The saffron party would also fight against the “stalled progress” of the state, Shah said, when asked about allegations of a tacit understanding between the BJP and the TRS.
