TDP On Mission To Cover Up Failures: YSR Congress

Describing as sheer nonsense the assertions of TDP chief whip Kalva Srinivasulu that its president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy went to Delhi to seek cancellation of cases against him, the YSR Congress Party said today that he had gone to Delhi and met the national leaders only to expose the misdeeds of the TDP during the recent elections for chairpersons of municipalities and local bodies.

The TDP leaders were on a mission to cover up their roles in the fraud committed on democracy in the chairperson elections by raising the issue of the cases against Jaganmohan Reddy, party spokesperson Vasireddy Padma told reporters.

Asking the TDP leaders to explain how the cases would be removed if Jaganmohan Reddy met the President, PM, Home Minister and other Central leaders, Padma said that Kalva Srinivasulu's assertions would amount to denigration of the judiciary.

"The TDP leaders are out to convey a message that no one can question their illegalities and atrocities. This shows that they are scared of Jaganmohan Reddy raising his voice and questioning their government's miserable failure in implementing the TDP's poll promises," Padma fumed, adding that the YSRCP could not be cowed down by their threats.

Rejecting the allegations of Srinivasulu against YSR, Padma observed that it was during the Chandrababu Naidu regime that a number of political murders took place.

"It was during the TDP rule that YSR's father Raja Reddy, journalist Pingali Dasaradha Ram, Mallela Babji and IAS officer Raghavendra Rao were killed," she said, and asked, "Why go that far? Don't the people know how you killed NTR?"

She said that the elimination of political rivals began again with the return of Chandrababu as CM.

"After you came to power, 17 of our activists have been killed, and more than 100 have been injured in TDP attacks," she remarked, asking the TDP leaders to work on implementing their poll promises instead of indulging in talking nonsense. (INN)
