Reacting to the news about the Telugu Mahila president Roja’s decision to join the Congress, TDP leader Errabelli Dayakar Rao alleged that the Congress leaders in Chittoor threatened Roja’s brothers with dire consequences. This is one of the reasons which forced her to join the Congress. To be very frank she doesn’t like to join congress. It is only because of sheer pressure she took that step.
Rs 10 crore for Roja?
As reported earlier Telugu Mahila president R K Roja, who met the Chief Minister on Sunday evening, is learnt to have got an assurance from YSR that the amount she spent during the elections would be reimbursed.According to the reliable sources, Roja hinted YSR that she had spent not less than Rs 10 crore from her own purse , during the elections and the TDP did not meet any of these expenses. The Chief Minister, responded to her generously saying: “It should not be a problem. You will get back what all you have spent in the elections.” YSR asked his advisor K V P Ramachandra Rao to look into the matter.
In all probability Roja may join the Congress before Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh arrives in Tirupati on September 5. This will facilitate her to take part in the public meeting on Sept 6.
According to a close aide of Roja, the actress-turned politician is regretting for not joining the Congress before elections when the offer was there from the Congress.
