YSR Telangana Party chief Y. S. Sharmila has said that the decision not to contest the elections was done keeping in mind the people of the State and avoid splitting opposition votes.
“Its not cheating,” she said in a statement after scores of party leaders quit the party enmasse on Tuesday after accusing her of deceiving the YSR supporters.
“Today, as we see a chance where KCR can be ousted, it may not be our party, but another party all set to do that for the people of Telangana. Then, shall we not support the party for the sake of people who come first and foremost to us? How fair is it to enter the fray, split votes and make KCR chief minister, again?” she reasoned.
