‘No-trust vote by TDP, YSRCP for political gain’
Senior Congress leader and former Union Minister Chinta Mohan bluntly said that the no-confidence motion moved by the ruling
Tirupati: Senior Congress leader and former Union Minister Chinta Mohan bluntly said that the no-confidence motion moved by the ruling TDP and YSRCP is a ‘high drama’ and was aimed at safeguarding their political interests. Speaking at a meeting on ‘Special Category Status (SCS)-No-confidence Motion–MPs resignations’ organised by local Congress leader Prabhakar here on Monday, Mohan said that though these two parties know well that the SCS and dethroning BJP government is not possible, but they took up the no-trust vote keeping an eye on the 2019 elections.
In the same breath, former MP affirmed that SCS was possible only after the Modi government was removed and the Congress elected to power in the state in the 2019 elections. Rayalaseema Intellectual Forum (RIF) convener M Purushottam Reddy said that both TDP and YSRCP did a mistake by basing the no-confidence motion on SCS instead of the violation of the AP Reorganisation Act.
He said insisting on AP Reorganisation Act implementation will benefit the state more so the backward Rayalaseema as it would result in the region get about 1.5 lakh crore worth development initiatives including Dugarajapatnam Port, Mannavaram Project, and Galeru-Nagari Project.
