Hyderabad, June 09: Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy today asked the party MLAs supporting YSR Congress chief Jaganmohan Reddy to clear air about their loyalties.
“We have to get rid of those who are like thieves in their own houses. Congress party will be strengthened if they go. There is no shortage of leaders and activists in our party,” Reddy said at Srikakulam.
“My appeal to those who want to leave is, please go.
Those who have got positions due to Congress should either remain loyal to the party or go,” he said, addressing a party meeting in Srikakulam district today.
The blunt message of the Chief Minister came in the wake of about 20 party MLAs siding with Kadapa MP Jagan who had earlier said that the Reddy-led Congress government was at his mercy.
