Naidu allegations baseless: YSRCP

Hyderabad, February 19 : As there is no let-up in levelling baseless allegations by the Leader of Opposition N Chandrababu Naidu against YSR family members, the option of filing defamation case is being actively considered.

“Without verifying facts TDP leader Chandrababu Naidu has been leveling baseless allegations against Brother Anil Kumar on a regular basis and he told us that he is contemplating to move court,” YSR Congress senior leaders DA Somayajulu and Janak Prasad told reporters here on Tuesday.

With Sharmila’s padayatra getting good response, Chandrababu Naidu has slipped into depression and has been speaking illogically and repeating the same allegations that YSR son-in-law is involved in Agasthya helicopter scam, lease of bayyaram lands and on the church lands.

“Neither Sharmila nor her husband is the trustee of the Church land in contention and they are not holding lease of Bayyaram mines nor do they have any links with the Agasthya chopper scam.

These are all verifiable facts and the documents can be obtained from Registrar of Companies (RoC). Instead, the TDP leader was playing to the gallery and hurling allegations on YSR family members, who told us that the legal option of filing a defamation suit is being actively considered, they said.

Chandrababu Naidu is in total frustration and is spreading falsehood and promising things that are not possible, loan waiver being one such cheating. Loan waiver was done only on thrice and on all the three occasions they were done by the Central government.

Once while Devi lal was Deputy Prime Minister and twice while Dr Manohan Singh was the Prime Minister. As banking is a Central subject, the State has no control over it and Chandrababu Naidu promising about waiver is an impossible task, they said.

As the MSP had increased by 25 per cent and fertilizer prices went by 250 per cent we met the Agriculture minister and also wrote to the Prime Minister on the loan or interest waiver, as it is a central subject. If Naidu goes to town saying that he waive loans, he could have done it during the last three years of his term which was ridden with drought and he was extending support from outside to NDA government.

“His intention is clear, he only wants to promise moon without going into the details,” they said.

The committee on political training classes, which includes senior leader Harirama Jogiah met and chalked out a programme and the details would be released on Wednesday by party honorary president YS Vijayamma after the extended executive meeting.

While Chandrababu Naidu was given permission to stay in Guntur during the MLC elections, Sharmila was asked to leave Nalgonda and we had to fight it out with Chief Electoral Officer, they said. INN
