TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu questioned why AICC president Sonia Gandhi and Vice-President Rahul Gandhi were not opening their mouths when BJP senior leaders L K Advani, Sushma Swaraj and others expressed concern over the incident that occurred in Lok Sabha today.
Speaking to reporters here on Thursday, the TDP chief said Sonia Gandhi was responsible for today’s incident in Lok Sabha. Who is responsible for the situation that led to this kind of situation? The Congress leaders kept quiet when that party’s ministers and MPs rushed to the well. Congress involved in violation of the Constitution.
He said Congress leaders are acting as per Sonia Gandhi’s directions. “How can they decide about AP sitting in Delhi? We condemn today’s incident. The Congress was talking against spirit of federal system. We have been asking them not to make sensitive issue as a complicated one. But they did not bother to resolve the crisis for the last six years. Whey they did not convene an all-party meeting? Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Kamal Nath wanted to politicize the issue by saying that our party MP Modugula was holding a knife and wrenched the mike. Our member Konkalla Narayana is being treated in the hospital. TDP MPs Nama Nageshwar Rao and Ramesh Rathod strongly condemned the act of Lagadapati, he added. (NSS)
