End ‘corrupt rule’: TDP-Left leaders

CAMARADERIE: TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu, CPI leaders K. Narayana and S. Sudhakar Reddy in upbeat mood in Nalognda on Friday.

NALGONDA: The Telugu Desam, CPI and CPI (M) launched their first of the series of joint district-wise political conventions here with a call to the cadre to work unitedly for the end of the ‘corrupt rule’ of the Congress in the State.

If the objective was to strengthen the bonds and bring together the grassroots-level workers and leaders of the three parties to gear up for the Assembly elections, it was more than achieved as a large number of them assembled at the Mekala Abhinav Outdoor Stadium sporting common badges and holding red and yellow flags.

In a show of unity, TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu, CPI (M) State secretary B.V. Raghavulu and CPI State secretary K. Narayana, besides CPI deputy general secretary S. Sudhakar Reddy, held their hands aloft and displayed red and yellow bow and arrows as if preparing for the political war ahead.

Mr. Narayana set the tone when he asked the cadre of the district to show their legendary revolutionary spirit of the Telangana armed struggle against the Nizam’s rule to throw out the Congress regime. “The meeting here should herald the downfall of Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy.”

Mr. Naidu reminded the cadre of the three parties that political consciousness was so high in the district that whichever political combine did well in the district wrested power in the State.

He said that from the Volkswagen deal to the latest irregularities committed by Fisheries department engineer, V. Suryanarayana, Congress lived up to its reputation of indulging in large scale corruption and ‘looting’ the resource of the State.

Mr. Raghavulu referred to Dr. Rajasekhara Reddy’s poser to the Left parties what sin the Congress had committed to provoke them to part ways and said it is a series of sins and not just one.

These include the UPA government’s blind pro-US policies, corruption in irrigation projects, looting of land and resources and injustice to all weaker sections. Mr. Sudhakar Reddy castigated the UPA government for entering into the nuclear deal with U.S. and failing to check terrorism.
