Min Talasani: AP CM purchasing his own party MLAs

Hyderabad, March 15,2015: Telangana Minister Talasani Srinivasa Yadav has alleged that AP Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu is paying crores of rupees to his Telangana TDP MLAs to retain them in the party. "When TDP MLAs are blackmailing Chandrababu Naidu saying that TRS has been inviting them into the party, Chandrababu is paying them crores of rupees to retain them , " Talasani Srinivasa Yadav told media persons in an informal chit chat in the assembly lobbies. He has plummeted to the position of purchasing his own party MLAs, Talasani remarked. The minister denied news reports that he would contest for the Legislative Council. "I will contest from Sanatnagar assembly constituency. If he wants, even Chandrababu can contest against me," he said, asserting that the losing candidate should keep off politics. TDP leader Errabelli Dayakara Rao met Chief Minister KCR in the past offering to join TRS if he was taken into the Cabinet, Talasani revealed. Chandrababu used Motkupally Narasimhulu once as a scapegoat to attack KCR and now he is using Revanth Reddy as a scapegoat, Talasani remarked. The Telangana minister had a word of praise for YSR Congress President Y.S.Jagan Mohan Reddy saying he has been shining as the Leader of the Opposition in the AP Assembly like his father YSR.
