Hyderabad: The Congress Legislature Party (CLP) has flayed the campaign of the TDP that the Congress Government was getting its political rivals eliminated with a vengeance.

Twenty six Congress MLAs led by GadeVenkata Reddy, G. Muddukrishnama Naidu and M.Rajasekhar on Monday questioned the propriety of the visit by the TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu to Narasaraopet to console the family of Anji Babu, who was recently murdered.

Various offences

They alleged that Anji Babu had a record of various offences in several places in Guntur district. He was convicted by courts when the TDP was in power, they said, and asked whether it was proper for Mr. Naidu to hail him as a hero now.

They took strong exception to his statement at a public meeting in connection with the peace march organised by the former Minister K. Siva Prasada Rao recently that the Congressmen would reap the consequences and asked whether he was threatening them. All the more ridiculous was the party's decision to table an adjournment motion in the Assembly on the issue.

People's issues

The TDP president should take up people's issues and fight for good causes instead of wasting time on persons with police records, they said. The Congress MLAs also refuted the charge that their Government was setting free criminals on parole and cited records to show that the TDP had set free dozens of hardened criminals from jails before the Assembly elections in 1999 and 2004.
