Ponguleti issues emotional appeal to YSR Cong

Hyderabad, December 05: AICC Secretary Ponguleti Sudhakar on Sunday issued an emotional appeal to the Congress MLAs who are now supporting YSR Congress party to vote against the No Confidence Motion.

“YS Rajasekhara Reddy served the Congress party throughout his life till he died. His soul will get hurt, if anyone tries to harm the Congress Government,” Sudhakar said while talking to reporters at Assembly’s Media Point. He said it would be immoral and unethical for the MLAs to vote against the Congress party’s government on whose ticket they got elected.

Criticising the Telangana Rashtra Samithi for linking the statehood issue with No Confidence Motion, Sudhakar claimed that the fall of Kiran Kumar Reddy’s Government would further delay the decision on Telangana issue. “It would be unfair to bring political instability in the State when the Centre is seriously trying to resolve the statehood issue. Telangana will not be a reality soon if the state government falls now,” he said.

However, the AICC Secretary claimed that there was no threat to the government and it would comfortably defeat the No Confidence Motion in the assembly. Regarding the Praja Rajyam Party’s MLAs, he said it was the internal matter of the Congress party and senior leaders including Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad are trying to pacify the MLAs.
