Self-Immolation Unites Oppn, Troubles TDP

The self-immolation attempt by Congress worker Koti at Tirupati has brought the Opposition parties together, as they are trying to cash in on the situation to score over the ruling Telugu Desam Party.

Naturally, it is a big embarrassment to TDP president and AP Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, who has failed to fetch special status to AP.

Reacting to incident PCC president N Raghuveera Reddy reminded how Narendra Modi ditched Andhra Pradesh forcing  the people to hit roads for a legitimate right.

“While campaigning for elections, Narendra Modi told Tirupati people that after bifurcation   Seemandhra had become orphan. He also assured not to worry about it as BJP was coming to power and would take care of you,” the PCC president said and accused the BJP and TDP responsible for Koti’s attempted self-immolation.

Raghuveera announced Rs 2 lakh assistance to Koti and assured that Congress would take care of his treatment expenditure

CPI leaders said self-immolation is no solution. “We should not resort to suicides. It is they who backed out of their own assurances should commit suicide. As the centre and BJP leaders ditched the state, AP youth fell insulted and attempting to suicide out of frustration. This is only a beginning. The CPI is observing banth on August 11. Both TDP and BJP are responsible this  tragic event,” CPI leader Narayana reacted.

“Koti incident should highlighted the need for all political parties together to achieve the special status for Andhra Pradesh,” Narayana said.

Movie actor Sivaji, who has been fighting for special status warned center of serious consequences if some happens to Koti.

“All political parties, including TDP and BJP think special status. Even Pavan Kalyana also should come out and fight for the special status,” Sivaji said and appealed to the youth not to take extreme and unwarranted sacrifices.
