Former actress and Congress' star campaigner Vijayashanti has said that Narendra Modi has learned the art of poaching MLAs from other parties from KCR. "The scourge created by KCR in Telangana is being spread to other parts of the country. Once the Congress party comes to power under Rahul Gandhi ji's leadership, we will enact a strong law to prevent horse-trading and defections," Vijayashanti said.

"KCR has been saying that the Centre has copied the Rythu Bandhu scheme. I don't know about that. But Modi has definitely learned the art of poaching MLAs," she added in her latest social media post.

Vijayashanti's comments come a day after Modi said in West Bengal's Serampore that 40 MLAs of the TMC are in touch with him.
