TDP will bite dust if it goes ahead with midterm polls: Nagam

Telugu Desam Party suspended leader from Telangana Nagam Janardhan Reddy on Monday regretted the TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu call for party to gear up for midterm elections.

Talking to media persons at Assembly Media Point, Nagam alleged the TDP chief was making confusing statements despite the Telangana forum members stated that they are not ready to go for elections.

He asked Naidu what is the rationale behind calling party cadre to gear up for midterm elections.

He demanded Naidu make his stand clear on contesting of by-elections in the event of fall of government.

He said the TDP would bite dust if it goes ahead with midterm elections in the Telangana.

Responding on Congress in-charge of state affairs Ghulam Nabi Azad call to Telangana Congress leaders to discuss on Telangana, Nagam asked them not to go head for New Delhi until the Centre gives a clear statement on separate statehood.

He said the Telangana people will backlash Congress leaders on the lines of TDP Telangana Forum members if they visit New Delhi without any assurance from high command.

He further stated that they would meet Speaker Nadendla Manohar and urge him to accept resignations submitted for the cause of Telangana.

He called upon all Telangana elected representatives to urge for acceptance of their resignations to mount pressure on the Centre for T statehood.
