Chandrababu takes a dig at the CM

Hyderabad, Aug 3 :-

  Taking a dig at Chief Minister Dr. Y S Rajasekhar  Reddy,  the Telugu Desam Chief  Chandrababu Naidu  dared the Chief Minister for a referendum on  the  subject `during whose regime  the city of Hyderabad  had developed’. Speaking in the Assembly on Monday  he said ``the  people of Hyderabad  know  who had developed  Hyderabad  to its present  status.’’

 He  further added that it was only during his regime the road widening programs  had taken place,  along  with the construction of flyovers  and  beautifying  the city with parks and  making efforts to make it a  clean and green city in the country.

The TDP Chief voiced  his challenge  by opting to take permanent  retirement form active politics  if he loses the  referendum. Will  Dr YSR  take up this gauntlet,  he  quipped.

``It was the Chief Minister who was responsible  for so many interruptions  during the proceedings of the Assembly sessions in the  last six days. When I was  speaking  on the issue of  Metro Rail Project  in the House, it was  the Chief  Minister who threw aspersions on me and interrupted the proceedings,’’ he explained.

 In the name of  failure of Monsoons  in the state he  is amassing huge funds  to fill his coffers.

Chandrababu  reminded the Cm,  state of Congress party in the 1994 elections  during which time  they hardly won 24 seats    and even lost the status of an opposition party.
