Senior Congress leader and former Union Minister Dr. Chinta Mohan has maintained that the Congress party alone can ensure justice to ‘beleagured’ Andhra Pradesh as both the regional parties—YSR Congress Party and Telugu Desam Party—were vying with each other to back an ‘anti-people‘ Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government at the Centre.
The Congress Working Committee Special Invitee made the remarks while addressing the media here on Friday. “While the TDP is desperate to have truck with the BJP in the next elections, the YSRCP is hand-in-glove with the saffron party at a time when gross injustice had been meted to Andhra Pradesh by the BJP-led government at the Centre which had miserably failed to implement the assurances made by the Centre to the State at the time of bifurcation,” Dr. Chinta Mohan said, referring to a recent meeting between Union Home Minister Amit Shah and TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu which he said was ‘‘much against the interests of the State’‘.
