Botcha has no right to criticize YSRCP MLAs: Gattu

YSRCP spokesperson Gattu Ramachandra Rao speaking to reporters at the party central office on Friday 

Hyderabad, July 26, 2013: YSR Congress on Friday clarified that the party MLAs had resigned from the Assembly on their own protesting against the Congress stand on the Telangana issue.

YSRCP spokesperson Gattu Ramachadra Rao told reporters here that Congress leadership has been misleading the people of the two regions in the state without disclosing its stand on the Telangana issue.

He faulted PCC Chief Botcha Satyanarayana for criticizing the resignations of the YSRCP MLAs who quit the assembly opposing the Congress stand on Telangana. “But, when the Ministers are getting ready to quit, he says it is their individual decision,” Gattu observed.

Congress has no right to seek the views of other political parties on the issue without first disclosing its view, he said and asked: “Why didn’t the Congress disclose its stand on Telangana till now? Will Telangana state be formed if the issue is discussed in the CWC?”

He accused the Congress of delaying solution to the Telangana tangle further after delaying it for several years.
