CM, Lagadapati fake integrationists: YSRCP

Hyderabad, Dec 12 : Affirming that Congress High Command is encouraging fake integrationists to float a new political party to cut into the base of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, YSRCP spokesperson Amabati Rambabu has said all such designs will fall flat.

‘In the garb of integrationists Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy and Vijayawada MP Lagadapati Rajagopal are allowed to speak against the high command and float a new political party which, according to the Delhi plan, would cut into the vote bank of YSRCP and gain a few seats and eventually the new outfit will join the parent party of Congress, he said.

This has been the script written by high command to halt the growing popularity of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy after he had taken the stand of an integrationist. But things do not work in the way the high command has desired as both the leaders, who are ready to quit and reportedly ready to form a new party, have questionable credentials and their financial dealings are improper,’ Rambabu told reporters here on Thursday, he said.

YSR Congress has taken the stand of a united stand and wanted a resolution to be adopted in the assembly to keep the state united. The draft Bill, it is understood, has been sent to the Government by the President Pranab Mukherjee seeking the opinion of the assembly. “We have been demanding the Chief Minister to convene the House and adopt a resolution against the division of the State since long and in the BAC meeting as well we have asked for it but the Government has refused it. This clearly shows who stands where,” he said.

The Chief Minister is trying to project himself as an integrationist but at the same time is also obliging to all orders of Sonia Gandhi and has been fooling the people. If he had opposed the Centre and Sonia Gandhi, no disciplinary action was initiated so far. This shows that the high command is pulling the strings and the Chief Minister is acting as per the Delhi directions, he said. The Chief Minister stands to be a fake integrationist who is a puppet in the hands of high command.

Lagadpati Rajagoapl too is making lot of noise and seems to be opposing the high command vehemently though no action is initiated against him. There is information that the two leaders would come out of Congress and float a new party with some NGO leaders to make inroads into YSRCP and gain a few seats in the next general elections.

“The Centre’s largesse can be seen when Rs 8,000 crore loan of Lanco Infra owned by Rajagopal was rescheduled and a fresh loan of Rs 3,500 crores was given. The company is in the red is a known fact. The Chief Minister has been clearing file after file and there are allegations that his brother is on a collection spree, he said.

The amount thus amassed will be utilised for floating the new party and the Congress high command script says the new outfit will take on YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on the same Samaikhyandhra slogan. The plan will fall flat as our leader has already taken up the cause of a united state and has been advocating for it vociferously. The two leaders on the other hand are only reciting the script of the high command and did not act the most crucial junctures when Telangana was announced, when GoM sought opinions, and when cabinet gave its nod to the separate state, he said.

The chief minister has refused to convene the assembly to pass a resolution against the division of the state and on hindsight the two are being projected as integrationists and they are obviously fake and cannot come anywhere closer to YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, he said. INN
