‘Telugu Desam Party chief is trying to create unrest in State’
Tourism Minister Muttamsetti Srinivasa Rao on Friday threw an open challenge to Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N Chandrababu Naidu that he would quit his Minister post and leave politics, if the TDP proves the allegations of ganja and other drug trade by the YSR Congress Party in the State. Mr. Srinivasa Rao questioned if Mr. Naidu would leave politics if he failed to prove so.
The Minister was addressing ‘Janaagraha Deeksha’ on the second day in Bheemili constituency here. The protests were being organised at all areas against the TDP, over the derogatory comments made by party spokesperson K. Pattabhiram against Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.
