Hyderabad, Aug 18 :
Allagadda MLA Shoba Nagireddy, a prominent leader of the Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) from the faction-ridden Rayalaseema region, on Tuesday took a dig at both the ruling Congress and the Opposition Telugu Desam and came down heavily on the ploys played by the leaders of both the parties in weaning out the MLAs from the PRP.
Interacting with the media on Tuesday, she said that both the parties are adopting an attitude which is a clear indication that no other political party should exist in the State other than the Congress and the TDP. This is not a healthy sign for democracy in the State, she felt.
Reiterating the stand which she took when she joined the PRP, she said that still PRP is a force to reckon with. The party does not lag behind in its cadre. Regarding the recent defections in the party she felt that it was a good riddance for the party.
Condemning the news that appeared in the section of the media stating tthat she would be defecting she said that she will stand by PRP and will fight for the cause till the end.
