Former Chief Minister wept inconsolably at a Press conference following slur on him by ruling YSRCP

Amaravathi, 20 November (H.S)In a dramatic development tTelugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday vowed to step into the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly again only after returning to power.

In an emotion-filled tone, the Leader of the Opposition said in the House that he was pained by the continuous slur on him by the ruling YSR Congress members.The former Chief Minister vented his frustration following an acrimonious exchange of words between the two sides in the House during a short discussion on the farm sector. Later, he held an impromptu meeting with his party legislators in his chamber, where he reportedly broke down. Stunned TDP legislators consoled Chandrababu. Later on he addressed a press conference at his party office at Velgapudi.

Nara Chandrababu Naidu broke down while addressing a press conference, said “For the last two and a half years, I have been bearing the insults but remained calm. Today, they have targeted even my wife. I was always lived with honour and for honour. I can take it no more,” Covering his face with both his hands, Naidu was seen weeping inconsolably. The former AP CM likened the Assembly to ‘Kaurava Sabha’ and decided to boycott it till 2024 in protest against ‘ugly character assassinations’ by YSRCP ministers & MLAs,” he added.

The ruling party led by the state CM dismissed the claims of the former CM stating that ,”Chandrababu only seeks to derive political mileage out of everything. It is very unfortunate and he is in frustration, People of the state have openly rejected him. Even in his own Kuppam constituency, he, unimaginably, faced people?s rejection,? the Chief Minister remarked. He said the YSRC legislators did not speak anything about the (opposition leader?s) family members.

“It was Chandrababu himself who spoke about my family members (slain uncle, mother and sister) and there was no reference to his family from our side. The House records clearly prove that,” Jagan added.

But Chandrababu himself over-reacted and became emotional. “Not only that, he went on to take a vow. We all have seen that. But ultimately, God will be observing all this from above,” the Chief Minister said.
