Minister for Power, Mines & Geology, Peddireddi Ramachandra Reddy, has flayed the Indian National Congress leader Sonia Gandhi and Telugu Desam Party president N. Chandrababu Naidu for trying to “divide families and disturbing harmonious relations between individuals”.
His observation assumes political significance in the wake of the YSR Telangana Party (YSRTP) founder Y.S. Sharmila, sister of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, merging her political party with the Congress party and getting inducted into the national party at New Delhi.
Speaking to the media after distributing the enhanced pension to beneficiaries at Chittoor on January 4, he said the YSR Congress Party was watching the developments unfolding in the Telugu states as “an interested spectator”.
