K Kavitha claimed proposals were brought to her by organisations friendly with the BJP, asking her to join the party and proposing the 'Shinde model'
Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao's (KCR) daughter and TRS MLC K Kavitha today said some "friends of BJP" had approached her to join the party, but she refused the "offer".
Speaking at a press conference, she hit out at Nizamabad BJP MP Dharmapuri Arvind, refuting his reported comments that Ms Kavitha had made a phone call to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge.
"I am a decent politician. I want to remain in this country, in politics for a very long time. I am not going to name anybody. There have been proposals that were brought to me and friends of BJP, friendly organisations of BJP, asking me to join the party and the proposed model called 'Shinde model'," Ms Kavitha said, replying to a query on media reports suggesting that she was approached by the BJP to join the party.
The 'Shinde model' apparently refers to the recent change in government in Maharashtra where the Maha Vikas Aghadi coalition fell after a faction of the Shiv Sena led by its leader Eknath Shinde withdrew support and joined hands with the BJP. Mr Shinde is now the Maharashtra Chief Minister.
