Vijaya Sai’s ‘backstabber’ comment triggers a war of words between YSRCP, TDP in Nellore

The war of words between the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) and the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) intensified on Sunday with the term ‘backstabber’ becoming the most-discussed word of the day.

Rajya Sabha member and YSRCP candidate for the Nellore Lok Sabha seat, V. Vijaya Sai Reddy, flayed the party legislators Anam Ramanarayana Reddy (Venkatagiri), Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy (Nellore rural) and Mekapati Chandrasekhar Reddy (Udayagiri), along with fellow Rajya Sabha member Vemireddy Prabhakar Reddy, for deserting the party at a crucial time ahead of the general elections.

Speaking to the media here, Mr. Vijaya Sai Reddy termed the above leaders ‘backstabbers’ for jumping ship to join the rival camp. “The party has done everything at its disposal for the legislators as well as the Rajya Sabha MP. What they have done in return is unpardonable,” he said, terming their move the “height of immorality and selfishness”.
