Naidu should attend all-party meet: Ponguleti

AICC Secretary and MLC Ponguleti Sudhakar Reddy on Wednesday demanded that Telangana Telugu Forum convince their party president N Chandrababu Naidu to attend the all-party meeting on Telangana issue being held on December 28.

Talking to reporters here, Sudhakar Reddy said that the TDP chief should clarify his stand on the statehood issue and therefore, he himself should participate in the all-party meeting. He said Naidu's presence in the meeting could ensure that the TDP does not come out with conflicting versions on the statehood issue. He said that the Congress leaders have already stated that they would abide by the decision taken by Congress president Sonia Gandhi on the Telangana issue.

Sudhakar Reddy also condemned the on-going tussle between TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao and YSRCP leader Konda Surekha in Warangal. He said both the leaders were resorting to political blackmail and their fight to political supremacy has affected the students and business community.
