The party claims the defection saga is a scripted drama designed by both parties to deceive the electorate ahead of the upcoming civic body polls. BJP state chief spokesperson and media in-charge N V Subhash stated on Thursday that the episode makes a complete mockery of the anti-defection law. N V Subhash argued that this duplicity trivialises constitutional safeguards and undermines the authority of the judiciary. The BJP spokesperson further alleged that there is tacit coordination between the Congress and the BRS to exert undue pressure on the Speaker of the Assembly. Calling on voters to reject what he termed “bankrupt and undemocratic politics”, N V Subhash asserted that the BJP remains the only party committed to transparency and constitutional propriety.
