CM's interest is in political vendetta: BJP

Hyderabad, Nov 10 (UNI) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National Secretary and former Union Minister Bandaru Dattatreya today alleged that the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy is more interested in political vendetta than coming to the rescue of the flood victims.

Talking to newsmen here, Dattatreya said while the Chief Minister showed a deaf ear over the problems of the defunct Prudential, Krishi and Charminar banks, complained about Margadarshi Chit Funds run by a largely circulated Telugu news paper group.

He questioned what steps were taken by the government on the fraud committed by several cooperative banks to their customers.

On the Karimnagar Lok Sabha by-election Dattatreya said "BJP will win the seat".

BJP fielded former Union Minister Ch Vidyasagar Rao who represented the constituency during the NDA regime, while Congress fielded Jagtial MLA T Jeevan Reddy and the TDP its former MP L Ramana, in the coming by-election.
