At a time when the TRS and the YSRCP have joined hands in what is seen as a step towards the federal front, the CPI has alleged that both these parties are acting to the “screenplay of and direction by” Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Addressing the media here on Wednesday, CPI State secretary K. Ramakrishna said the BJP was playing “dangerous politics” in the Telugu States as the people were not in a mood to vote for it. The hidden agenda of the BJP was to garner the support of the YSRCP in Andhra Pradesh and the TRS in Telangana. Also, the TRS and the YSRCP were kowtowing to Mr. Modi for their vested interests.
The CPI leader said the TRS had sent its MLA Talasani Srinivas Yadav to speak in favour of YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.

‘Raw deal to BCs in TS’
There was no truth in Mr. Yadav’s claims that the TRS government in Telangana was doing extremely well. Except for distributing goats and sheep, the TRS government could do nothing to the BCs. It was not proper on the part of the TRS to make an appeal to the Yadavs to vote against Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and bring Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy to power, he felt.
Referring to Mr. Naidu’s reaction to YSRCP leader Y.S. Sharmila’s complaint with the Hyderabad police, Mr. Ramakrishna said the Chief Minister failed to give a proper reply.

Mr. Naidu should have said that the A.P. police would help Ms. Sharmila. Instead, he claimed that the law and order in the State was in control, which was not true. People were not happy with the maintenance of L&O in the State, he added.
