Adviser to the government on public affairs and YSR Congress Party general secretary Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy has dragged the Rashtrapati Bhavan into a political quagmire and lowered the stature of the President by making objectionable comments with regard to the NTR commemorative coin release function, according to BJP State president Daggubati Purandeswari.
“It was a family event, where we all gathered to pay respects to my father. NTR was a great leader whose reputation can’t be tarnished,” Ms. Purandeswari said on August 31.
Addressing the media on the sidelines of a workshop organised by the BJP for its IT and social media wings here, Ms. Purandeswari said she would not delve further into the YSRCP leaders’ utterances as they were clearly intended to derive political mileage.
