Dismissing the allegation made against him by the BRS, Reddy, who is presently in US, in a release said that it was conspiracy by the ruling party to dilute the 'Satyagraha' protest planned to be organised in the state on Wednesday by his party against the disqualification of Rahul Gandhi from Lok Sabha.

He said free power to farmers is a "patent scheme" of Congress (as it was started during Congress regime in undivided Andhra Pradesh).

The BRS is only trying to help the BJP by taking up a false issue and spreading a distorted campaign on comments which he never made, the Congress leader said.

Reddy recalled Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's recent comments at a public meeting in Telangana that BRS is a 'B team of BJP'.
