Eluru, August 29: YSR Congress Party spokesperson Ambati Rambabu on Sunday claimed that the Congress party would not win a single seat in the by-polls that would be held after acceptance of resignations submitted by 26 Congress MLAs.
Talking to reporters, Ambati said he would quit politics if Congress wins even a single seat. He challenged the PCC President Botsa Satyanarayana to do the same if YSR Congress wins even a single seat in the by-polls. He said the Congress leaders were levelling baseless allegations of corruption against Kadapa MP YS Jaganmohan Reddy to defame him and YSR family. He said the Congress leaders were resorting to revenge politics after Jagan quit the Congress party.
Ambati ridiculed the statements made by Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu against corruption. He said the entire state knew that Naidu amassed wealth illegally by favouring corporates during his tenure as the Chief Minister. If Naidu is really honest, then he must tell the CBI that it was he who allotted land to Emaar properties for the first time, he said.
The YSR Congress party spokesman also refuted the allegations that Jagan Mohan Reddy was indulging in horse-trading. He said the Congress MLAs have joined the Jagan camp out of their love for YSR and his family. Unlike many Congress leaders, the pro-Jagan MLAs feel indebted that it was YSR who brought back the Congress party to power for two consecutive terms.
