Naidu’s Padayatra a sham: Sharmila

Nalgonda, Feb 9, 2013: On
the 60^th day of her Maro Praja Prasthanam Padayatra on Friday, Smt.
Y.S. Sharmila continued her broadsides against TDP Chief Chandrababu Naidu calling
his Padayatra a sham.

Addressing a huge gathering
of people who turned up to welcome her into the Nalgonda district at Mal
village in Devarakonda constituency Friday evening, Smt. Sharmila told them
that Naidu was making anti-Government speeches during his Padayatra on the one
hand and refusing to introduce no-confidence motion against the anti-people Kiran
Kumar Reddy-led Government on the other.

Reacting to Naidu
stating he would introduce no-confidence motion depending on his necessity,
Smt. Sharmila said Naidu’s necessity is only to escape investigation by CBI, ED
and IT into his 9-year regime’s illegalities.

She said Naidu is
likely to introduce no-confidence motion when the Congress feels no threat to
its Government and gives the green signal to him. “He introduced the
no-confidence motion against the Congress Government after Chiranjeevi’s PRP
was merged with the Congress. Very recently, three of TDP MPs abstained from
voting on FDI in the Rajya Sabha,” she said, adding these two events were proof
of Naidu colluding with the Congress.

Taking a dig at Chief
Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy over his Nov 2011 statement of providing employment
to 35 lakh people, Smt. Sharmila said instead of providing new employment opportunities
to the youth, Kiran Kumar Reddy has been presiding over the downfall of the
industry in the state sending lakhs of employees to the roads due to power
crisis.

“Obviously, the present
CM has been doing what once Naidu did as CM,” she said sarcastically.
