Hyderabad: After MLC Jeevan Reddy, now former MP Madhu Yashki Goud is raising objections over defections into the Congress stating that the turncoats were joining the party only to safeguard their assets and political future.
The former MP along with Government Whip A Laxman and others met the Congress MLC at Jagtial on Saturday. A day after TPCC Working president T Jagga Reddy extended support to the MLC, the former MP extended solidarity.
Speaking to media persons, the former MP said the turncoats MLAs were joining the Congress only to save their illegal properties and political future and not out of love for the party.
“The turncoats MLAs do not value the Congress ideologies. They have their own personal interests,” Goud said.
Leaders and workers, who have been loyal to the Congress, have been crying foul over offering top positions to BRS defectors.
The Congress government offered Agriculture Adviser post to Banswada MLA Pocharam Srinivas Reddy and Public Accounts Committee Chairman post to Serilingampally MLA Arekapudi Gandhi, yet the former MP said no assurances were given to the turncoats about nominated posts.
At the same time, despite the leaders’ outburst over turncoats being given priority in the constituencies, he assured that loyal workers to the Congress would be given top priority in filling up the remaining nominated posts.
Goud said both BJP and BRS threatened that democratically elected government would collapse within no time. Left with no choice, the Congress was compelled to join them into the party, he added.
The former MP also raised concerns about the deteriorating law and order situation in the State. Referring to Congress leader Ganga Reddy’s murder, he said despite MLC Jeevan Reddy alerting the police about regular attacks on Congress leaders, they had failed to protect them.
