Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidui’s overtures to the Congress party in the recent past has drawn a lot of criticism from his political rivals.
Bharatiya Janata Party MLC Somu Veerraju accused Naidu of cosying up with the Congress party for his political survival, as he had no friends in any other party.
“The way Naidu hobnobbed with the Congress bosses Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in Bengaluru on Wednesday clearly showed he has no principles in politics. He is an out and out opportunistic politician,” Veerraju said.
TDP founder N T Rama Rao’s widow and presently YSR Congress party leader Nandamuri Lakshmi Parvathi said Naidu had done a big betrayal of NTR, who had founded the TDP on the anti-Congress plank.
“He has once again proved that he is an opportunistic politician. He sailed with the BJP for four years and after realising that the BJP was losing people’s support, he snapped ties with the party. Now, he is trying to come closer to the Congress,” she said.
Since Naidu had partnered with every political party – the Congress, the BJP and the Left parties, he has a mixed blood of the three parties, Lakshmi Parvathi said.
“He used to call YSRC as ‘pilla Congress.’ Everybody has seen how Naidu has joined hands with the Congress in Bengaluru. Tell us who the pilla Congress is now,” she asked.
