"It is sad, but we have no objections since anyone can form his own party in a democracy," stated Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) President D Srinivas when asked to comment on the news that former Kadapa MP Y S Jaganmohan would
launch his own party within 45 days.
Speaking to media persons at Gandhi Bhavan on Tuesday, Srinivas said that there was no objection from the High Command.
The PCC chief expressed unhappiness over Jaganmohan Reddy's decision, but added that the new party would not have much impact on the national party.
"In a democracy, people have the right to form their own parties and no one can object. There is no need to comment on it (the proposed party) as it is at incipient stage only," he said.
The PCC chief said that the Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy would address the District Congress Committee presidents and party office bearers on Wednesday at Gandhi Bhavan, the first time after assuming charge.
Srinivas also stated that the PCC would extend full cooperation to the government in policy matters.
Reacting to Guntur MP Rayapati Sambhasiva Rao's remarks that he was unable to redress people's problems since he had no help from the government, Srinivas took serious exception to his comments, and termed them as unwarranted.
The senior Congress leader should not have made such comments and they were not suitable for his position, the PCC chief said.
On former minister Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy's
statements that he would work against Chief Minister, he said there was no need to discuss such small issues.
The allotment of portfolios and other political issues would be resolved soon with the intervention of High Command, he hoped.
Reacting on PCC posts, he said that the High Command would issue a notification in this connection very soon.
