Former Andhra Pradesh CM Kiran Kumar Reddy joins BJP, disparages Congress leadership

Former Congress leader Andhra Pradesh N Kiran Kumar Reddy joined the BJP on Friday, praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi and criticizing the leadership of the opposition party.

Reddy joined the BJP in the presence of Union Minister Pralhad Joshi and stroked out at the Congress leadership for its incapability to accept people’s decision and make progression improvement.

“They believe they are correct and all others, including the people of India, are wrong,” he said.

They want power to control but don’t want to work hard. They are not even interested in taking any responsibility, said N.Kiran, who had resigned from the Congress last month.

Quoting his family’s more than six-decade-long relationship with the Congress, Reddy said he never thought that he would leave the party.

The Congress is getting smashed in all states and its high command does not want to interact with others. They are not even taking people’s opinion, he said.

Reddy compared the escalation of the BJP with the deterioration of the Congress since 1984 and glorified the ruling party’s leaders led by Modi for their hard work and obligation for the nation.

He further added in his applaud that BJP leaders have clarity of thought and steadiness, and taking courageous decision is the hallmark of the government, he said.

Reddy also praised Modi’s pledge for struggling against corruption.
