Telugu Desam Party President and former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu today alleged the YSR Congress Party was indulging in horse trading of MLAs and MPs offering packages.
Speaking to newspersons here, he said, this, however, would not affect the TDP and even if one or two MLAs leave much importance would not be attached to it. Such defectors would go down as betrayers in history and were bound to disappear into political oblivion,’ he alleged.
Replying to queries on TDP MLA Ramakotaiah meeting Congress RS MLA Chiranjivi, he clarified that it was sheer coincidence that both stayed in the same lodge and happened to meet in a casual manner. There was no political significance to their meeting. Alleging out Congress, particularly late Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, had opened the floodgates for rampant corruption. He said the Congress leaders had destroyed the entire administrative fabric beyond repair, pushing the state backward by at least 20-years. Even the judiciary was being corrupted, he alleged.
The time has come for the people to ponder over ‘reconstruction of the state which is in shambles now, he claimed. UNI
