The war of words between the Congress and Telugu Desam Party is becoming more intensive each passing day, with leaders from both the parties trying to out-shout the other.
Following the trend set by Chief Minister K Rosaiah who
spewed venom against TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday, and Naidu's subsequent
retaliation, it was the turn of health minister Danam Nagender to counter senior TDP leader Gali Muddukrishnama Naidu's statements made against Rosaiah and the Congress high command.
Danam on Wednesday demanded that Gali withdraw the remarks he had made against the Congress top rung immediately, and also apologise for the "baseless and serious allegations".
Talking to media persons at the CLP Office, the health minister said that Gali has been targeting the CM and other senior Congress leaders "unnecessarily" and making serious allegations against them. This, he said, was unbecoming of a senior politician with immense experience.
Danam went a step further, though. He remarked that Gali might do well to "contact a veterinary doctor for treatment, as general physicians were unable to understand his abnormal behavior and his baseless comments against leaders".
Reacting to the demand made by Gali to remove government advisor and Rajya Sabha member K V P Ramachandra Rao, Danam said the TDP leader has no moral right to talk about KVP. He KVP was nominated for the Rajya Sabha by the Congress due to his contribution to the party.
Reacting to a statement made by the TDP president that a younger leader should be given a chance for the chief minister's post, Danam stated that Rosaiah was chosen for the post considering his political experience and administrative skills.
"With his enormous experience Rosaiah is doing very well," he added.
