Senior leader of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) Errabelli Dayakar Rao, one of the 12 MLAs elected on TDP ticket in the 2014 elections but joined the ruling party later by merging the TDP-LP with TRS, came down heavily against both the TDP and Congress for allegedly continuing their conspiracies against Telangana before and after formation of the State.
Addressing a press conference along with G. Sayanna, Arikepudi Gandhi, Maganti Gopinath, Madhavaram Krishna Rao, Teegala Krishna Rao and S. Rajender Reddy, here on Saturday, Mr. Dayakar Rao said the original Telugu Desam Party was there neither in Andhra Pradesh nor in Telangana and most of the leaders with it including party chief N. Chandrababu Naidu were originally from other parties.
“All those who are on the dais of the ongoing Mahanadu at Visakhapatnam are those who stood against party founder N.T. Rama Rao. Mr. Naidu had ruined the original TDP that was formed against the autocratic Congress and they have joined TRS only protect the self-respect of Telangana”, Mr. Dayakar Rao said.
Accusing Mr. Naidu of opposing formation of Telangana, Mr. Dayakar Rao said his conspiracies against Telangana were continuing even now. “Unable to digest such venomous attitude and inspired by the K. Chandrasekhar Rao rule we have joined TRS,” he said.
The father-in-law and son-in-law duo of S. Jaipal Reddy (Congress) and A. Revanth Reddy (TDP) would not stand the ever-growing support to the TRS from all sections. He reminded that the two leaders also had the history of shifting loyalties.
