If somebody has to talk about use-and-throw politics in Telugu states, the first name that comes to one’s mind is Telugu Desam Party president and former chief minister of Andhra N Chandrababu Naidu.
Right from his father-in-law N T Rama Rao, co-son-in-law Daggubati Venkateshwar Rao, brother-in-law Nandamuri Hari Krishna and his son Junior N T Rama Rao – the list goes on. All of them are victims of Naidu’s use-and-throw politics.
The TDP chief has not hesitated to use even his wife Nara Bhuvaneshwari’s name to gain political mileage. He has even used the media for his political interests and has not cared about helping them later.
Such a man is now talking about YSR Congress party president and chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, alleging that the latter has been indulging in use and throw politics in Andhra Pradesh.
Addressing a road show in Nagari in Tirupati district, the TDP chief was referring to the resignation of Jagan’s mother Y S Vijayamma from the post of YSR Congress party honorary president and also from the primary membership of the party.
Naidu alleged that Vijayamma was forced to resign by her own son.
“For the sake of politics, Jagan can use even his mother and sister and later dump them. He was responsible for his uncle’s murder and now, he has hounded out his mother from the party,” he alleged.
Naidu even challenged Jagan to face the public if he has guts and wits.
“You are conducting party plenary with paid workers. But what are your achievement so far,” he said.
Naidu also questioned the logic behind restructuring of the districts and promised to correct the mistakes as per the aspirations of the people when TDP comes to power.
