The video involving the YSRCP MP, Mr Gorantla Madhav, has generated a big political heat with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) lodging a complaint with the Lok Sabha Speaker against Mr Madhav, demanding stringent action against him.
The TDP MPs, Mr Kinjarapu Ram Mohan Naidu and Mr Kanakamedala Ravinda Kumar, told media persons in New Delhi that the YSRCP is only trying to divert the issue of its party MP and the party has become a master in diversion politics.
The YSRCP is always interested only in bailing out the party leaders, including Mr Gorantla Madhav, from the criminal cases and thus, they filed a complaint against the YSRCP MP with the Lok Sabha Speaker. “We are confident that the Lok sabha Speaker will act on our letter,” they added.
The ruling YSRCP is not taking any initiative in the interest of the State and is not making any effort to wage a fight either for special category status or for Kadapa steel plant, Mr Ram Mohan Naidu said. Since the safety of women in Andhra Pradesh is under a threat, particularly Mr Madhav’s issue has proved it beyond doubt, the YSRCP should initiate immediate measures for women protection, he stated.
Mr Ram Mohan Naidu is of the firm belief that the YSRCP is making every effort to save Mr Madhav from this mess as the party is of strong opinion that if action is initiated against the MP, then not a single leader will be safe. Almost all the leaders are either involved in videos or audios, he felt.
Instead of taking action against the MP, the YSRCP leaders are shamelessly blaming the TDP, Mr Ram Mohan Naidu said and is of the opinion that if an MP is spared then tomorrow even a common man will resort to such activities and action can not be initiated against them. The party is utilising all kinds of weapons to safeguard the MP and the Government advisor, Mr Sajjala Ram Krishan Reddy, has been changing tack every minute on this, he added.
Mr Kanakamedala Ravindra Kumar said that even woman leaders in the YSRCP are feeling ashamed of Mr Gorantla Madhav. “Why are you maintaining silence on this,” he asked. Mr Kanakamedala said that not the MPs from Andhra Pradesh but all the Members of Parliament are seriously discussing the issue of Mr Gorantla Madhav. How much time does it take for getting the forensic lab report on Mr Madhav’s video, he asked.
He asked as to why the video involving Mr Madhav and the issue of the TDP national president, Mr Chandrababu Naidu, is linked. “Where is the connection between the two. Not even an FIR is booked against Mr Chandrababu Naidu and the High Court has dismissed the case but the Government went in an appeal against it. The YSRCP has no ethics,” he maintained.
“In politics there are no enemies but only rivals. But after the YSRCP came to power the party has all the enemies but no rivals,” he observed. In what capacity Mr Sajjala is holding media conferences. “He is just a government employee. Why is he responding on every issue,” Mr Kanakamedala asked.
Except blaming Mr Chandrababu Naidu, the Chief Minister, Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy, is not taking any steps for the welfare of the people and to check the criminal cases. The TDP MPs demanded stringent action against the YSRCP MP and are confident that the Lok Sabha Speaker will act on their complaint.
