Speaking in New Delhi after a meeting of Telangana MLAs, MPs and senior leaders with BJP national president Nitin Nabin, Rao said the party’s state unit would not tie up with any party. He added that the national leadership would decide on the Jana Sena Party’s position, as it is part of the NDA. Rao rejected reports of internal conflict, saying differences of opinion did not amount to a leadership dispute. He also claimed that leaders from other parties were interested in joining the BJP, but were waiting before moving, with two-and-a-half years left for the next Assembly elections. ## Coverage - telanganatoday.com Tags: BJP, GHMC elections, Jana Sena Party, Telangana Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bjp-to-contest-ghmc-polls-alone-says-telangana-chief/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
