AICC General Secretary and MLC Ponguleti Sudhakar Reddy on Friday advised the party leaders to raise their concerns on various issues before the party forum instead of going to the media.
Talking to media persons at the Congress Legislature Party Office, he said that the party has suffered a huge damage as the leaders have been pressing their issues before the media. Apart from this, he said that the internal differences among leaders have damaged the party's image at all levels. He advised the leaders to sink their differences and focus their attention on strengthening the party under the leadership of Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
Sudhakar Reddy took serious objection over Telugu Desam president N Chandrababu Naidu's remark against Congress emissary Vayalar Ravi that he came to collect money in suitcases from the State to New Delhi. Stating that the Congress party has never had 'suitcase culture', he said that the TDP chief himself has encouraged that culture in the State.
Stating that Naidu has no moral right to criticize the Congress party, he advised Naidu to focus his attention on his party affairs instead of targeting the Congress.
