Bharatiya Janata Party MLC and former State president Somu Veerraju has said that he is unaware of the speculation over former YSRCP MP V. Vijaya Sai Reddy joining the BJP. He said that it should not be seen as a fault, if he does.

Responding to the media over the speculations during a programme on Wednesday, Mr. Veerraju pointed out that several YSRCP leaders had previously switched loyalty to the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), and the TDP leaders too crossed over to the YSRCP. Those leaders were even given prominent positions, he noted.

Earlier, a number of individuals, several activists joined the BJP in the presence of Mr. Veerraju and BJP Visakhapatnam district president M.N.M. Parasurama Raju.

Welcoming the new members, the BJP MLC stressed the need for taking the welfare schemes, programmes and campaigns of the BJP to the grassroots level.
