The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) has stoutly denied that Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu was arrested out of political vendetta. The party also refuted Mr. Naidu’s remarks that there was no mention of his name in the FIR nor notices were served on him. The YSRCP also saw no reason to train its guns against Mr. Naidu or the TDP, a spent force, what it called.
Addressing a press conference at party office at Tadepalli near in Vijayawada on September 9, YSRCP State general secretary and Andhra Pradesh Government Advisor (Public Affairs) Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy said that there was no rhyme and reason to say the arrest is out of vengeance against Mr. Naidu, who has grown old. “The TDP has become a “spent force,” and deviated from the political path and lost its relevance. The TDP has no clear cut agenda. Nor was it fighting on public issues now, nor addressed while in the government. The TDP might feel it is a strong Opposition and trying to keep the people in the same illusion. In reality it was not so, and the YSRCP government has no reason to sideline the TDP out of vengeance as claimed by them,” he asserted.
On the other hand, Mr. Ramakrikshna Reddy said, the YSRCP and Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy have people’s blessings and positive agenda. It is being proved repeatedly.
