Congress senior leader and Rajya Sabha member V Hanumantha Rao has alleged that only feuding in the party led to the defeat of his party’s candidates in the recent by-elections.

Speaking to media persons at his residence here on Sunday, Rao said that it was the Congress leaders, who had defeated the party’s candidates. He said that people had no understanding of the programs of the government as leaders were not frequently moving about amidst people.

The three-time Rajya Sabha member demanded that the Congress party should apologize to the people for the irregularities that occurred during the rule of late Y S Rajasekhara Reddy and return the lands acquired from the poor for setting up SEZs and other industrial units.

Referring to the landslide win of the YSR Congress party in the recent by-polls, Hanumantha Rao said that party’s honorary president Vijayamma shed tears at every election meeting and urged the people with folded hands to vote for her party. Her tricks worked and generated sympathy for Jaganmohan Reddy. He also hastened to add that he would retire from active politics if that party (YSRC) wins future elections on the so-called sympathy wave.

Exhorting the Congress cadre not to get disheartened by the recent poll reverses, Rao advised the YSRCP leaders to apologise to the people for the irregularities committed by the YSR regime and stop singing psalms over late chief minister. Rao also strongly felt that the remarks of Union minister and State Congress party affairs incharge Ghulam Nabi Azad that Jagan would have been inducted into the Union Cabinet before installing him as chief minister of Andhra Pradesh also largely contributed to the defeat of the ruling party. He also said that YSRC leader Konda Surekha and BJP had a match-fixing in Parakala.

Despite losing heavily in the recent by-elections, the Congress leaders appears to have not learnt any lessons and they continue to lose their tongue at former chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy and his family.

Deputy Chief Minister Damodar Rajanarasimha, who was given the ministerial post by YSR, does not even have the gratitude towards him. He said YSR would have been in jail, had he been alive now. “He was indicted by the CBI, as he had favoured industrialists who had invested in his son Jaganmohan Reddy’s business empire. The CBI’s charge sheets submitted to the court clearly indicated that YSR was the real culprit. And when former Karnataka CM B S Yeddyurappa can go to jail, why can’t YSR,” he said.

Senior Congress leader and Rajya Sabha member V Hanumantha Rao, too, made a similar comment. YSR had resorted to several irregularities during his regime and the Congress had to pay a penalty for the same. “We have failed to take our party programmes and policies into the people and expose YSR’s misdeeds. We should have apologized to the people for the corruption during YSR regime,” he said.

Refuting YSRCP honorary president YS Vijayamma’s statement that the people had chosen to vote for YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s party believing him as innocent, the PCC has said that the cases filed against Jagan will not be withdrawn though he has won in the public court. The PCC has opined that law is different from the people’s court.

Speaking to the media at Gandhi Bhavan here on Saturday, PCC official spokesperson Dr N Thulasi Reddy dared Vijayamma to introduce a no-trust motion against the government in the Assembly if they have any doubt on the strength of the Government. “When the YSRCP has only 17 members in the Assembly, how it can question the strength of the ruling party”, he asked.

Condemning Vijayamma’s statement that the Congress and TDP had colluded with each other in the just concluded bye-elections, he questioned Vijayamma as to why the TDP and Congress fielded candidates from the same community if they joined hands. He pointed out that the Congress had lost Tirupati seat just because both the Congress and TDP fielded candidates from same community.

Exuding confidence that the Congress will retain power even in the 2014 elections, Dr Reddy said that Jagan becoming chief minister would remain a day-dream only. He said that the YSRCP candidates have won the elections only because they had resigned from those seats and retained them in the by-elections. Besides, the sympathy generated for Jagan after his arrest also worked in favor of YSRCP candidates”, he added.

Speaking to the media at CLP office, Government Chief Whip Gandra Venkataramana Reddy has said that Jagan’s victory was only temporary. He said that the Congress government would continue till 2014 undoubtedly.

Refuting Vijayamma’s allegation that the Congress was behind the arrest of Jaganmohan Reddy, he said that the Congress party had nothing to do with it as the CBI had taken up investigation into Jagan’s ill-gotten assets case on the specific directive of the State High Court. He also asserted that Telangana sentiment was very strong in the region and everyone has to accept it.

MLC Rudraraju Padmaraju has said that the bye-elections have proved that some sections of people were alienated from the Congress party. He said that it was time that all Congress leaders remain united. He also said that the bye-elections were a lesson and the party would analyse the bye-election results.
