Chandrababu in Catch- 22 with squabbles in TDP camp

“Errabali has no basic qualification and he is unaware of the legal procedures. Separate Telangana would not be realized, even if hordes of leaders like Errabelli scream for it,”

The internal squabbles of Telugu Desam Party got a shot in the arm when Telangana Forum convener Errabelli Dayakar Rao made snide remarks against Rajya Sabha member C M Ramesh.

Attacking Ramesh personally, Errabelli termed him a ‘diseased insect’. He went one step further and asked party chief, Chandrababu Naidu to chose between the two of them. 

“He (Ramesh) is the bug in the system. He is spoiling the party. Encouraging very rich people like Ramesh and elevating them to MP status is affecting party prospects,” he told reporters in Warangal.

He warned CM Ramesh not to continue interfering in the Telangana region. He also pointed out that Ramesh did not deserve to be an MP, as he was not even eligible to represent a ward in the local bodies.

He hurled an ultimatum to Naidu, asking him to chose between him and Ramesh, since it was becoming impossible to stay in a party that encourages people like Ramesh.  Erraballi and other Telangana leaders also seemed upset with Naidu's lack of transparency on the Telangana issue.

Further, they disagreed with the petitions of Payyavula Keshav and CM Ramesh in the apex court against the State bifurcation, in connivance with Chandrababu, who on the other hand, also gave letter of consent for separate Telangana.

CM Ramesh retaliated by calling Errabelli, an illiterate. “Errabali has no basic qualification and he is unaware of the legal procedures. Separate Telangana would not be realized, even if hordes of leaders like Errabelli scream for it,” he said.
