Chandrababu lost control over his Party: YSRCP

YSR Congress said that Chandrababu Naidu has lost control over his own Party and the leaders in the name of deekshas have mortgaged the self-respect of Telugu people in Delhi while his Party has been making a mockery of protests by resorting to theatrics.

Speaking to reporters here on Friday, party spokesperson Ambati Rambabu said, the TDP MPs sitting in Andhra Bhavan have passed comments which did the rounds in social media before entering the mainline channels and huge efforts were put in to stall the telecast.

The MPs have been taking turns for the deeksha and making fun of it while Murali Mohan, Avanthi Srinivas and JC Diwakar Reddy have been talking in different voices and Chandrababu Naidu is in no position to take action against any of them as he is scared of the leaders which shows that he lost control over the Party.

CM Ramesh, who has been on deeksha demanding steel plant at Kadapa has been miraculously going ahead defying all medical sciences by being healthy with every passing day and waiting for the Chief Minister to come to Kadapa and make a big show of the deeksha. This is how TDP has been making a mockery of deekshas, he said.

The deeksha, be it at Kadapa, Kakinada or at any other place is only a drama and to gain political mileage and there is no sincerity in the protest.

Our five MPs had resigned for the cause of Special Category Status (SCS) and they have the right to sit on deeksha but not TDP MPs who did not resign but sailed with the ruling coalition at the Centre for better part of the five-year term and now started making noise only to put up a show.

Chandrababu Naidu on his part, who is undertaking Porata Deeksha at Kakinada has reduced the protest programme into a farce and he lost the moral right to question as he did not question the Centre for four years nor did he bother to take up the poll promises.

BJP had earlier said that it will probe into the charges levelled against Chandrababu Naidu while the chief minister had expressed fears that cases would be foisted against him after Karnataka elections but nothing happened as there was a secret pact between the two parities and the silence at Niti Ayog meeting vouches for it, he said.

Contrary to the fact, he has been alleging that we have been going soft on Centre fearing backlash on the cases, but we remind him that our leader YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has boldly faced the charges and is fighting the cases foisting against him by TDP and Congress unlike Chandrababu Naidu who has always played the politics of opportunism and compromise.

During the Amudlavalsa Eruvaka programme, Chandrababu Naidu despite being anti-farmer he had showered many sops to farmers without fulfilling the old ones like waiver of loans and has boasted of false figures about growth rate.

Agriculture, barring allied fields, has registered a negative growth rate during the past four years, he said.
