Goud should not form a party, says TDP leader

Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD: Telugu Desam spokesman and Secunderabad MLA T. Srinivas Yadav on Wednesday wanted former party leader T. Devender Goud to drop the idea of forming a political party as he had lost faith in elections.

At a press conference, Mr. Yadav wondered why he was asking his supporters to stick posters of the proposed party all over when he had contempt for seeking votes and individuals running parties. Instead, he should concentrate only on building movement for separate Telangana.

If he was so opposed to votes and elections, he should explain why he sought votes for the chairmanship of Ranga Reddy Zilla Parishad and later as MLA from Medchal that facilitated him to become Minister, he added. Continuing with his blistering attack on Mr. Goud, he challenged him to contest from Medchal again claiming an ordinary TDP worker would be enough to defeat him.

Asked about the talk of the proposed TDP-TRS alliance, he dismissed the reports as highly speculative and said there was lot of time for Assembly elections.
