TDP ridicules Sonia

Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD: Telugu Desam party on Friday ridiculed UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi praising Chief Minister, Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy and her contention that Andhra Pradesh stood first in development.

Speaking to newsmen, TDP leaders -- N. Janardhan Reddy, P. Yadagiri and Arvind Kumar Goud -- said Ms. Gandhi should also know that Andhra Pradesh, under Congress rule, was number one in corruption, farmers suicides, ‘wonders in tenders’, atrocities against women etc. They also refuted Minister Mohd Ali Shabbir’s charge holding previous TDP rule for the present power crisis.
