TDP warns TRS of retaliation

The Telugu Desam Party has warned the Telangana Rashtra Samithi of retaliation if it continues to target its chief Nara Chandrababu Naidu.

Talking to reporters at the NTR Trust Bhavan here on Thursday, Tdp MLA M Narasimhulu condemned the attack on Naidu's convoy by the Telangana activists in Nizambad. Holding TRS president K Chandrashekar Rao and Telangana Political Joint Action Committee chairman Prof M Kodandaram responsible for the attacks, he warned that the Tdp cadre would not remain silent to such attacks. "Our party has lakhs of members in the Telangana region and they would be forced to retaliate if KCR and Kodandaram continue to target our party," he said.

Narasimhulu alleged that the TRS chief and Kodandaram have instigated the TRS activists to carryout physical attacks on Chandrababu Naidu. "We will not remain silent and will teach them a lesson if they continue with the same attitude," he warned.

Speaking about the Collectors Conference, Narasimhulu said that the instead of discussing the issues concerning the common man, the ministers have used the occasion to fight with each other. "The cabinet ministers exposed and insulted each other during the conference," he said.

Addressing the same press conference, former minister T Devender Goud said that instead of Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy reviewing the performance of departments, the ministers have pulled up the Chief Minister for deficiencies in the government schemes. "It was unfortunate that the cabinet ministers themselves have expressed doubts on the welfare and developmental schemes initiated by the Chief Minister," he said.
