Pradesh Congress Committee official spokesman N Tulasi Reddy on Friday stated that former Kadapa MP YS Jaganmohan Reddy is spreading ‘canards’ against the Congress by claiming that the National party was trying to split his family.
Talking to media persons her, Mr Tulasi Reddy alleged that Mr Jaganmohan Reddy has launched a ‘Goebbels campaign’ against Congress and is going before people claiming that the party wants to split the YSR family.
As the Congress gave a Ministerial berth to YS Vivekananda, Mr Jaganmohan Reddy is taking advantage of this and claiming that this was an attempt to split his family. However, if the Congress High Command offers him the Chief Minister’s post, would Mr Jaganmohan Reddy describe this as an attempt to bond the family, Mr Tulasi Reddy asked.
Except eyeing the Chief Minister’s post, Mr Jaganmohan Reddy has not bothered about party principles, family relations, and social justice, the Congress spokesperson stated.
Stating that Mr Jaganmohan Reddy has failed to fulfill the aspirations of the people of his constituency, the senior Congress leader stated that the former MP has not even raised any people’s issue in the Parliament.
He was not even available for the people of his constituency to air their grievances, Mr Tulasi Reddy alleged.
The PCC spokesperson further said that Budvel MLA Kamalamma had returned to the Congress party as there was no social justice in the YSR Congress Party.
The 20-Point Economic Programme Chairman expressed confidence that the Congress candidates would easily win over their opponents in the by-elections.
