Naidu knew of MPs absenteeism: YSRCP

Allowing two MPs to vote and three others to stay away from voting shows that TDP wants to have the cake and eat it too as Naidu, while criticising FDI during his padayatra has been scouting for strategic alliance for his family-run Heritage Foods, YSR Congress has said.

“Three MPs cannot skip the voting without the knowledge of N Chandrababu Naidu and it is deliberately done as there are some business interests involved in the exercise, “party spokesperson Gattu Ramachandra Rao told reporters here on Saturday.

Naidu during his padayatra has been criticisng FDI in retail sector but he is on the look-out for a tie-up with some foreign company for Heritage Foods, which is run by his family members, he said.

Sujana Chowdhary is the alter ego of Naidu and has been looking after his business interests and serves as bridge between the Centre and the TDP President which is the reason why CBI has been very lenient towards him, he said.

In return Naidu has been saving the Congress government at the State and it is very clear that the two parties have an understanding, he said.
