The BJP leaders of Telangana were rudely jolted by an imposter who claimed that he would give them a party ticket of course for a price. A person, identified as Surabhi Srinivas, lodged himself in a swank hotel and began calling up senior BJP leaders who are trying to get party tickets for the upcoming elections in 2023.
He claimed to be quite close to the national leadership and claimed that he would get them a party ticket. In lieu, he demanded hefty sums from them. He asked the ticket aspirants to come to his hotel and meet him. Many BJP leaders fell for the bait and met him at the hotel. Some had even reportedly paid an advance to him.
However, BJP state mahila morcha president Geetha Murthy, who too received a call from Surabhi Srinivas, grew suspicious. She found the whole thing strange as Surabhi Srinivas was claiming to be a member of the national core team. She felt something was amiss as neither state president Bandi Sanjay nor Union Minister Kishan Reddy knew about him.
She immediately lodged a complaint with the police and got Surabhi Srinivas arrested. Meanwhile, another senior leader Premender Reddy too confirmed that he had got a call from Surabhi Srinivas. the police have meanwhile taken the person into custody and are questioning him.
