`Naidu trying to derive political mileage'

HYDERABAD:
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president N. Indrasena Reddy lashed out at the Telugu Desam Party chief, N. Chandrababu Naidu and wanted him to spell out his party's ideology.
Referring to Mr. Naidu's statement that Telugu Desam Party would not have truck with the BJP in future, he wanted to know why the regional party had forged an alliance with it in the 1999 and 2004 elections.
"Did he not know about Bharatiya Janata Partyand its ties with the Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sanghthen, " he asked at a press conference here on Thursday.
Remarks
Accusing Mr. Naidu of making such remarks to derive political mileage in the municipal elections, he questioned why he had not condemned the Godhra incident.
"What happened to his secularism at that time?"
Mr. Reddy faulted the Telugu Desam Party leader for going a step further than the Congress by demanding political reservation for Muslims and sought to know whether appeasement was secularism.
He said that five per cent reservations for Muslims in jobs and educational institutions would affect the Backward Classes quota and charged Mr. Naidu with letting them down.
Alternative
Claiming that Telugu Desam Party regime had not done anything worthwhile for the uplift of the Muslims, he said the Telugu Desam Party leader was sadly mistaken if Muslims would believe him.
Mr. Reddy said that Bharatiya Janata Party had neither changed its ideology nor its leaders and was working to emerge as a political alternative in the next Assembly elections.
