Raghuveera ridicules opposition ‘unity’

Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD: The Congress has described the new-found unity among the opposition parties as ‘politics of show’ and said people were bemused at it.

Addressing a press conference on Thursday, Agriculture Minister N. Raghuveera Reddy said the opposition parties had lost credibility. He found fault with them for not championing the cause of weavers and farmers.

The Minister said that the TDP, Left and the TRS had different ideologies and the only thing that united them was their opposition to Congress.

He termed such unprincipled unity was unsustainable and that people were not going to trust them.
