Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader KT Rama Rao (KTR) has accused Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy of being a B-team of Bharatiya Janata Party.
His remarks came a day after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said Bharatiya Janata Party sympathisers exist within Gujarat Congress.
KTR claimed Revanth Reddy was working secretly with the BJP.
In a similar vein, he accused him of failing to address key issues, including reservations for the Backward Classes (BCs).
According to KTR, Revanth's actions over the past 15 months show an undisclosed alliance with the BJP. He alleged that this was slowing Telangana’s progress.

KTR also highlighted Reddy’s recent meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
He linked his allegations to Rahul's recent remarks. “He clearly meant Revanth Reddy when he spoke about BJP agents in Congress,” he stated.
KTR, further, criticised Reddy and questioned what Telangana had gained under his rule in terms of central government support.
He demanded accountability for the state’s declining industries, saying some businesses were moving to Andhra Pradesh.
“We are happy for Andhra’s progress, but Telangana should not suffer due to Congress’s incompetence,” he added.
The BRS leader also challenged Reddy’s stance on BC reservations. He accused him of using BCs for votes without ensuring real benefits.
He added that Reddy should launch a hunger strike in Delhi until 42 per cent reservation is granted.
KTR painted a grim picture of the Congress government’s rule in Telangana. He accused Reddy of failing on all fronts.
The political battle in Telangana is heating up, with both sides trading allegations ahead of future elections.
