YSRCP flays TDP leaders

YSR Congress has upped the ante against the TDP leaders who have been calling YS Jagan Mohan Reddy names ever since he said that a day will come when people will resort to pelting stones on Chandrababu Naidu if he fails fulfill the poll promises.

“What our leader has said was in a figurative sense that people will vent their ire if they are deceived by not honouring the poll promises and TDP leaders passing snide remarks and on the psychiatric status of YS Jagan Mohan  is uncalled for and ridiculous,” party spokesperson Ambati Rambabu told reporters here on Thursday.

“Though it is not our policy to attack people on personal deficiencies since, the TDP leaders have gone overboard, it should be recalled that Chadrababu Naidu’s brother-in-law N Balakrishna was pronounced as mentally unsound after the shoot-out at his residence.

The Chief Minister’s younger brother also has mental illness and when it comes to health condition, mental or otherwise on relative terms between the Chief Minister and N Chandrababu Naidu and YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, it is common knowledge as to who is healthier,” he said.

As a responsible opposition party it is our duty to warn the government when it is drifting away from the welfare measure and our Party President, during a review meeting has passed the remark keeping that in mind as a metaphor. The escapism of TDP government has hurt the belief of farmers, students, youth, women and all sections as the poll promise were not kept, he said.

TDP leaders taking it in real terms have launched an uncalled for personal attack and they should verify facts before going to press, he said adding that the TDP should concentrate on ways and means to fulfill the poll promises instead of using their lung power unnecessarily.
