Seats to businessmen reason for defections, says Vijayashanti

Hyderabad: Congress senior leader Vijayashanti on Friday said giving Legislative houses seats to businessmen is the reason for the defections that have been taking place in Telugu States.

Reacting on the present political conditions, she tweeted on her official twitter account, "policies being adopted by the leaders were the reason for the defections at the will and wish. The Telugu Desam and Telangana Rashtra Samithi were on the same page in this regard."

Speaking on the comments of Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao that a Tamil Nadu like political situation should come in the State, she said he was unable to understand the qualitative change they have brought in that State.

She warned that the TRS would meet the fate of Telugu Desam, if the Chief Minister continues to while away time with empty speeches.

She said though it was true that if two regional parties of a State are strong, national parties would not get scope.

It was also true that if two national parties become strong, the regional parties would be decimated.
