YSR Congress party on Saturday took strong exception to Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s comments that party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy is playing into the hands of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Rubbishing the allegations against Jagan, YSRC MLA R K Roja said it only showed that Rahul was reading out the script provided by Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu, whom he had severely criticised in past.
“The comments on Jagan are not in good taste as our leader has always been in favour of SCS and other issues mentioned in the State Reorganisation Act,” she said.
She alleged that Naidu was misleading the Congress president for his personal and political gains.
“The coming together of the TDP and Congress has been the most bizarre and immoral alliance in the polity of the country,” she said.
She said after losing the face and sheen following his failure to keep up the promises, Naidu was desperately looking for a nation leader.
“It is a shameful act on his part to join hands with Congress as NTR has founded the party on anti-Congress plank,” she said.
Roja reminded that Naidu on his part had very recently rebuked Rahul Gandhi and the policies of Congress but now the duo has been roaming about hand in hand and each complimenting the other.
“By taking Chandrababu Naidu into its fold, Congress party should own up the corruption charges of the chief minister and his unethical practice of buying MLAs and giving cabinet berths to four of them and the various other atrocities committed by his cabinet ministers and government against women, dalits and weaker sections,” she alleged.
While the UPA was neck deep in corruption with numerous scandals coming out one after the other in quick succession, it is improbable on part of Congress President to speak about corruption charges on YS Jagan Mohan Reddy.
