Naidu blames Sonia for chaos

The Telugu Desam president, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu, on Wednesday said his party would continue to fight against the illegal Babli structure till justice is done.

Mr Naidu said, “I don’t know what instructions the Congress president, Mrs Sonia Gandhi, gave to the Maharashtra Chief Minister, Mr Ashok Chavan, but the police beat us only after she talked to him. Without her instructions the Maharashtra police would not have had the courage to beat us up?’’

He accused the Congress governments at the Centre and state for the injustice meted out to Telangana by allowing construction across the Godavari obstructing flow of into AP.

Mr Naidu said, “Do we require a visa to visit Maharashtra? Are we not in India? Don’t we have freedom to visit places in other states?’’

Fuming at Rosaiah government’s inaction, Mr Naidu said, “Maharashtra did not begin works on Babli project as long as TD was in power. Babli would not have been completed had TD been in power. Congress has to pay the price for the injustice.”

Mr Naidu alleged that the Chief Minister was only worried about saving his job and settling scores with rivals. “Mr Rosaiah is just not worried about our lives and the Babli project,” said Mr Naidu.
