HYDERABAD: The Telugu Desam Party has found fault with the Telangana Congress MPs' action in petitioning Prime Minister Manmohan Singh against Polavaram project.
Addressing a press conference here on Thursday, TDP leaders -- Kodela Sivaprasada Rao, G. Butchaiah Choudary and Umareddy Venkateswarlu -- said it was unfortunate that the ruling party MPs were playing politics by linking Polavaram which got all the clearances with securing national project status for Pranahita-Chevella.
While making it clear that TDP favoured projects for all regions, the action of these MPs was against the interests of the State and people, they said. They were also critical of the TRS for toeing the same line as that of these MPs and opposing Polavaram.
Criticise KCR
Replying to questions, they said it was wrong on the part of TRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao to continue to hold threats of civil war over Telangana. The TRS president should not forget that violence had no place in democracy and that he was bound by the Constitution.
When media persons pointed out their own party leader Nagam Janardhan Reddy too said violence would be inevitable, they said even these comments as well as the harsh language used by Congress MP Lagadapati Rajagopal too were condemnable.
They, however, claimed that Mr. Janardhan Reddy had issued a clarification saying his comments were misinterpreted.
Seed Bill
Mr. Venkateswarlu said the party would launch a struggle against the Seed Bill as well as the penal provisions of the Biotechnology Regulatory Authority Bill, both of which exposed the anti-farmer attitude of the Central government.
