Former joint director of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) V V Lakshminarayana, who resigned from Jana Sena Party in protest against party president and actor Pawan Kalyan’s return to film industry, is likely to join the Bharatiya Janata Party, if his latest observations are any indication.
Lakshminarayana said his association with Jana Sena was a closed chapter, as his resignation from the party had been accepted.
“I don’t want to make any further comments against that party. My struggle for farmers would continue and I will make the state-wide tour again for the sake of farmers,” he said.
Stating that being in politics is very much essential to do public service, Lakshminarayana said he would shortly disclose which political party he would be joining next.
But the former CBI joint director dropped enough hints that he might be joining the BJP. He was all praise for the Union budget 2020 introduced by the BJP-led NDA government in Parliament on Saturday.
“The budget is people-friendly and allocations to various sectors are very encouraging. Steps have been taken to encourage youth towards agriculture sector,” he said, adding that it was the responsibility of the MPs from Andhra Pradesh to secure more funds to the state.
Lakshminarayana also expressed view that there was nothing wrong with the Citizenship Amendment Act introduced by the Centre.
“It is only about providing citizenship to minorities in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh facing persecution. It does no harm to the Muslim minorities in India,” he said.
His observations are clearly in sync with that of the BJP, indicating that he might prefer to join the BJP sooner or later. But one wonders whether he would appreciate the BJP joining hands with Jana Sena Party in any manner.
