PCC President criticises TDP chief's charge

Hyderabad, Jul 25 (UNI) Criticising Telugu Desam Party (TDP) President N Chandrababu Naidu's charge that the Congress was 'useless party', Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) President D Srinivas today said Mr Naidu was making such ''mindless'' allegations in frustration.

Addressing a press conference here, he claimed that Mr Naidu was frustrated as several of his party leaders and workers were leaving the party, opposing his policies. Mr Naidu had no moral values and he had no right to comment on the Congress, which was a true democratic and national party, he alleged.

Mr Srinivas said it was the practice of Mr Naidu to ditch his own party people and he had not spared even his Father-in-law and TDP Founder-President N T Rama Rao.

Asked about TDP MP M Jagannatham who voted in favour of the UPA Government, he said Mr Jagannatham had stated that nuclear deal was important for the country and supported the trust vote.
