The Telugu Desam president, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu, alleged on Friday that that internal squabbles in the Congress led to communal riots in the old city of Hyderabad.
The Central and the state intelligence agencies failed to nip the trouble in the bud and this had sullied the image of the city, scaring away investors, said the TD president.
“The Congress leaders have alleged the hand of outsiders in the riots,” he said. “Is it not intelligence failure? The poor are paying a heavy price for the internal squabbles in the Congress. People are now suspicious of each other.”
Mr Naidu said this while welcoming a group of BJP leaders and activists from Dharmavaram in Anantapur district who joined the Telugu Desam in his presence.
He said the government had also failed provide succour to the people in the riot-affected areas.
“The government failed to provide essential commodities and medical care,” he said. “Milk is being sold at 100 times its cost.”
He recalled that the former Chief Minister, Dr M. Channa Reddy, had once alleged that party men had triggered riots to bring down his government. “That is Congress history,” he said.
“But when Telugu Desam was in power, there were no communal riots,” he added
