YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy on Monday described Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu’s deeksha at New Delhi as fake and opportunistic.
Addressing a public meeting at Anantapur, Jagan said Naidu had never raised the issues of special category status to AP and others during his four years of honeymoon with the Bharatiya Janata Party, but was raising a hue and cry now only to eke out political games which exposes his politics of opportunism.
“TDP had two ministers in the Union cabinet and Naidu was part of every cabinet decision taken by the NDA government and for the better part of fiver-year term. He never talked about special category status and on the other hand, he had criticised us for holding dharnas saying that SCS was not a wonder drug,” he pointed out.
Jagan reminded that Naidu had even foisted cases against YSRC workers and leaders, students and women for participating in the dharnas demanding SCS.
It was Naidu who had brought special package to the fore in lieu of SCS and thanked the Union Government for being generous in helping the state.
“When we objected, he along with his cabinet colleagues and leaders had played tantrums and tried to project us as spoilers and putting spokes in the development wheel,” he pointed out.
Now suddenly seizing the opportunity which is in total contrast and contradictory to his earlier stand, he goes to Delhi for deeksha wearing black.
“This is raw opportunism which is exposed in the streets on Delhi and his image has plummeted to a new low back home,” Jagan alleged.
