Speculations have been running high as Chikoti Praveen, the casino organizer under investigation by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for money laundering, is rumored to be considering joining the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP). In viral pictures circulating on social media, Praveen can be seen exchanging greetings with prominent leaders of the saffron party, including Bandi Sanjay, who was recently appointed as the national general secretary. Another photo captures him in the company of DK Aruna. BJP sources in Telangana expressed surprise at Praveen's sudden visit to Delhi and his meetings with national party leaders. A state party leader from the BJP remarked that they cannot confirm whether he is indeed joining the party or if it was just a casual visit at this stage.
