YSR Congress dismisses merger reports

The YSR Congress party on Wednesday dismissed reports that it was preparing to merge itself with another party.

Talking to reporters after taking oath as a member of Lok Sabha, Nellore MP Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy said that some political parties were spreading baseless rumours that the YSRCP would soon merge with other parties. Dismissing such reports as 'baseless', he said that many political leaders were preparing to join the YSRC soon. Further, he said that the people in the State were waiting for the mid-term elections in order to elect YSRCP to power.

The Nellore MP also accused the State Government of having failed to solve the problems being faced by the people in the State. He said that it was the government's negligent attitude that the people were looking for a change in power. He also informed that he has already moved a petition to raise the issue of Tamil Nadu Express fire mishap incident in the Lok Sabha during Zero Hour.

Rajamohan Reddy was administered oath by Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar in Telugu language on the first day of monsoon session of Parliament. Later, he thanked the people of Nellore constituency for his election.
