YSRCP flays TDP for extravaganza on swearing-in ceremony

Hyderabad, June 5 : The YSR Congress Party on Thursday accused the Telugu Desam Party of misusing the official machinery and flayed extravaganza, pomp and boasting of the swearing-in ceremony of TDP leader N Chandrababu Naidu.

“The manner in which the hotels are booked, aircraft and choppers are being commissioned and sub-stations being erected for the swearing-in ceremony while people are reeling under severe power cuts shows the priorities of the TDP government,” party leader G Srikanth Reddy told reporters here on Thursday.

“Booking five special flights, helicopters, villas and hotel rooms in Guntur and Vijayawada and the way money is being spent in an extravagant manner for the swearing-in ceremony shows that the coterie that is working to illuminate the function will be taken care of in the days to come and nepotism will be the keyword of the governance,” he said.

Srikanth Reddy said that the TDP should fulfill its election promise as mentioned in the manifesto of waiving all agriculture loans.

Brushing aside the reports appearing in a section of media that Congress has sought the merger of YSRCP, he said, “Congress has been our arch rival and we have fought all these years to decimate it. It was TDP which has sailed with it all time. There is no truth and there is no reason as to why we should merge with Congress,” he said. The report quoting Modi is not in good taste for the section of media, he said.  INN
