Naidu says Cong tarnishing his image

The TDP chief explained that all the points mentioned in the memorandum were thoroughly discussed in the Assembly earlier. quot;We have sufficiently answered every allegation raised by them, and yet, they are repeating their charges,quot; he said.

Criticising the Congress leaders for using quot;foul languagequot; and abusing him in quot;a vulgar fashion,quot; the Chief Minister asked the TDP leaders to maintain restraint. quot;One day, they say we have taken Rs 50 crore and the next day, they say it is Rs 1,000 crore,quot; he said.

Naidu felt the PCC president8217;s series of letters against him Naidu was a sign of desperation in the Opposition camp. quot;They are jealous of our goodwill among the people. They are asking for a CBI enquiry against us 8212; I do not know what it is for,quot; he said.

Dismissing the Congress claim of being able to provide a stable Government at the Centre, the Chief Minister said it was ironic that a party which was not in a position to contest in at least 250 Lok Sabha seats should dream of forming a Government on its own.

On the Congress victory in Goa, Naidu said the results could not be treated as a reflection of the national mood. quot;In fact, the BJP improved its tally considerably, compared to gains made by the Congress in Goa,quot; he said.

Reiterating the party8217;s stand that only Indians by birth should occupy high Constitutional posts, Naidu said a handful of sloganeering crowds at the All India Congress Committee office did not represent the country. quot;No Indian would ever agree to a person of foreign origin becoming the prime minister,quot; he said.
