Digvijaya trying to buy Congress, TDP leaders for Telangana Bill: YSR Congress

Hyderabad: YSR Congress Party on Friday stated that the Congress General Secretary in charge of AP affairs Digvijaya Singh is trying to buy his Congress colleagues and TDP leaders in the state to ensure support for the bifurcation bill in the assembly.

Speaking to reporters here, party leader Nalla Suryaparakash said besides Congress leaders, TDP leaders are also meeting Digvijay Singh and holding consultations.

“TDP leaders have said that along with the bill, money bags were also brought to Hyderabad. That could be true. Digvijay also described Naidu as his good friend. In such a case, what is their share and that of their leader Chandrababu in the money?” he asked.

“Naidu is extending support to the T bill to escape a possible CBI investigation into his misdeeds.” Surya Prakash said the stance of Chandrababu Naidu and his party leaders seemed to be supporting the T bill in the assembly similar to his support to the Government in the past during the no-confidence motion.

“Naidu has not spoken a single word about keeping the state united so far. It is all because of his conspiracy with the Congress,” he stated.

Surya Prakash demanded TDP to discharge its responsibility as the main opposition party in the assembly and introduce no-confidence motion against the Kiran Kumar Reddy Government to thwart the attempts of the Centre to bifurcate the state.

“If TDP is not willing to introduce the no-confidence motion, Chandrababu should reveal whether he is ready to support such a motion if introduced by YSRCP,” Suryaprakash asked.
