State Govt intolerant of criticism: TDP supremo

Kakinada, Apr 16 (UNI) Telugu Desam Party (TDP) supremo N Chandrababu Naidu today alleged that Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy's rule in the state was worse than during the emergency days.

Addressing a press conference here, Mr Naidu alleged that Dr Reddy wanted to hide his mistakes.

He said it was the right of the opposition to bring to notice of the Assembly and the government, corruption in Yellampalli (Sripada Sagar) project.

This was the first time in the history of the country that a state government had sent a written complaint to Director General of Police seeking action on five TDP MLAs who had raised the matter through a question in the assembly.

Mr Naidu alleged that ever since the Congress came to power, the people who opposed the anti-people policies of the government were being suppressed by the state government.

Mr Naidu charged the state government with supressing the voice of the TDP MLAs who raised the question about corruption by issuing arrest warrants. This is against the Constitution, he added.
