Addressing the district-level meeting of the party at Arts College gr-ounds here on Thursday, Mr Raghuveera Reddy accused the TD leaders worse than pickpockets and extorting even from the government officials.
Mr Reddy observed both faction groups in the district are now working with the Telugu Desam.
Taking a dig at deletion of election manifesto from the party website, the APCC chief quipped, “Mr Chandrababu Naidu had said that he wou-ld waive crop loans and SHG loans. Now, he is waiving off all his election promises.”The PCC chief made it clear the Congress was only blamed for the state division, but the TD also had its role in the division. Referring to the pathetic position of Congress, the APCC president recalled that party had faced worst situation in 1994-2004 in Anantapur district.
“Congress had struggled even to field candidate because of series of killings of Congre-ssmen,” Mr Reddy said and hoped that the party would get strengthened from ground level with appoinment of committees.
