Naidu asks Jagan to prove strength in numbers

Press Trust Of India

Hyderabad: Telugu Desam Party chief N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday challenged the YSR Congress party president YS Jaganmohan Reddy asking him to prove his might by parading the MLAs supporting him before the Governor, before "dislodging the Kiran Kumar Reddy government".

"If you prove your strength before the Governor, we are ready to dislodge the government by moving a no-confidence motion," Chandrababu Naidu hit back at Jagan at the TDP's annual general body meeting Mahanadu in Hyderabad on Friday.

Over the past few days, Jagan has been saying that he was unable to do anything to dislodge the Congress government alleging that the TDP was in a match-fixing deal with the ruling party.

He had challenged Chandrababu to move a no-confidence against the government. "The YSR Congress party leader had been claiming that the Kiran Kumar Reddy government is surviving at his mercy. This is a totally inept government. He says the government will fall if he opens his eyes. Let him open his eyes," Chandrababu said, taking a dig at Jagan.

"We can't move a no-confidence motion when the Assembly is not in session. Yes, the TDP will move a no-confidence against the state government on the farmers' issue. But let the YSR Congress party parade the MLAs on its side before the Governor," the TDP chief said.

"Then, the government will be required to seek a confidence vote and the TDP shall vote against it. It will become clear who is in match-fixing with whom," he added.
