Chandrababu rejects YCP claims on party defectors

Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday rejected the claims of the YCP leaders that their MLAs were being purchased by the ruling party. Speaking at admission of Addanki YCP MLA Gottipati Ravikumar, the TDP president repudiated the YCP claims, stating he had no need to buy the MLAs. Besides, he had no weakness or necessity to purchase the YCP MLAs. They were seeking admission to the TDP on their own accord. "I am not purchasing any MLAs. The YCP MLAs were seeking entry in the TDP for the benefit of Andhra Pradesh. I have no weaknesses in this regard,' the Chief Minister added.
