Naidu acting at Sonia's instructions: YSRCP

Hyderabad, Nov 12, 2013: YSR Congress
Party on Tuesday charged the TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu with enacting a political
drama at the behest of Congress president Sonia Gandhi over the issue of
bifurcation.

Addressing a press meet at the party
central office here, party spokesman Ambati Rambabu said Naidu should spell out
whether he is in the party founded by NTR (Anna) or in the party headed by
Sonia Gandhi (Amma).

“Is it because Sonia instructed you
not to attend the GoM discussions that you have opted not to represent your
party?” he asked Naidu.

Rambabu said that Naidu, who had demanded
economic package for the Seemandhra following the Congress working committee’s decision
to carve out T state, has now opted not to submit a letter to the GoM in favour
of keeping the state unified at the behest of Sonia Gandhi.

“Naidu, who has pledged
the self-respect of the Telugu people at the feet of Congress, is behaving as
if he has totally surrendered to Sonia,” he said, adding that he should immediately
stop enacting dramas and submit a letter to the GoM demanding the Centre to
keep AP united if he is sincere and concerned with the problems of the
Seemandhra people.
