Suspended Pradesh Congress Committee secretary Ambati Rambabu charged that some party leaders were bent on trying to politically wipe off the family members of former chief minster late YS Rajasekhara Reddy.
Talking to media persons at the Somajiguda Press Club on Thursday, the staunch supporter of Kadapa Member of Parliament YS Jaganmohan Reddy, without naming anyone, said that the Congress leaders are trying their best to get the young MP expelled from the party.
Mr Rambabu alleged that the anti-Jagan camp is spreading rumours that Mr Jaganmohan Reddy would announce the formation of his own political party on September 2.
Denying that Mr Jaganmohan Reddy has any plans for the formation of any new party or of leaving the Congress, Mr Rambabu described the Kadapa MP as mature enough not to get caught in the trap of his detractors or make any provocative speeches.
The suspended PCC secretary said that Mr Jaganmohan Reddy has the wherewithal to face his detractors and emerge the winner.
He said that Mr Jaganmohan Reddy had not taken up the Odarpu Yatra for any political benefit or motive but it was to only to fulfill his words that he had given at Nallakaluva. Mr Rambabu said that the Odarpu Yatra should not be viewed through the political prism since it was a question of a son’s duty towards his father.
Mr Rambabu further said that he found it absurd to have been suspended from the PCC for making remarks against Chief Minister K Rosaiah and said it was not wrong to call a spade a spade. He wondered how it was seen as wrong to make legitimate comments.
