The Gangavati MLA, who is an accused in an illegal mining case, had set up the ‘Kalyana Rajya Pragati Paksha’ (KRPP) ahead of the state assembly polls last year, snapping his two-decade-old association with the BJP.Earlier, Reddy had met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi. But interestingly afterwards, in the recently held Rajya Sabha polls, he extended support to the Congress candidate.Attacking the BJP further, Khera said that people who are accused of corruption, be it in West Bengal, Karnataka or in other states are being protected.Evidences along with Lokayukta report are available then why such individuals are being taken into the party, the Congress asked.“What are the compulsions? Why do Modi and the BJP want to protect Reddy? For leaders of opposition, there is ED and CBI. Red carpet is being laid for the person who is already facing cases before CBI and ED. With these inductions, your tall claims to eliminate corruption turn out to be hollow promises,” said Khera.
