‘Humiliated’ Chandrababu Naidu cries before media

Amaravathi: ‘Humiliated’ by ruling YSRCP members in the Assembly, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) President Chandrababu Naidu vowed to step into the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly again only after his party returning to power.

Chandrababu Naidu said that he had never seen such developments in his life and found fault for bringing his family into the house. He said he never humiliated anyone in his 38 years of political career. The opposition leader said that he would step into assembly only after getting a mandate from the people.

Mr. Naidu breakdown before the media on Friday after he walked out from the Legislative Assembly. He alleged that the YSRCP ministers and MLAs made derogatory comments against his wife Nara Bhuvaneshwari in the House.

He alleged that he was humiliated by the YSRCP members. For the last two and half years, I have been bearing the insults and did not lose my cool. But today they have targeted my wife. I always lived with honour and for the honour. I cannot take it anymore," Naidu said in tears.

Earlier, TDP chief and AP opposition leader Chandrababu was a bit emotional in the Legislative Assembly and expressed his grief over personal allegations about his wife in the House. He said he had suffered a lot of humiliation in the last two and a half years. However, the speaker has cut his mic which left Naidu in a distressed state to leave the house.

Chandrababu cried while saying that the majority of TDP leaders don’t know my wife personally as she never participates in party activities. “Except helping people in needy, Bhuvaneshwari doesn’t take an active role in politics,” he mentioned. The TDP supremo said that the ruling party leaders have assassinated the character of his wife. “Me and my wife have sacrificed our lives to people,” he added.

Chandrababu compared the Legislative Assembly, majority of MLAs belongs to the YSRCP, with Kaurava Sabha. “I don’t want to be in Kaurava Sabha,” he stated. The TDP leader made an appeal to people to support him as he was humiliated by ruling party MLAs without a reason.

During his speech, Speaker has cut the mike, ruling party members called Naidu remarks as drama. Our party leaders and workers have been harassed and jailed, financially and politically we have been humiliated, and we tolerated,” he said. “In the Assembly today, they dragged even my wife into these dirty politics and resorted to character assassination,” Mr. Naidu alleged.

Responding to Naidu’s comments, Later Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy released a statement stating that he had entered the Assembly only after the heated exchange, after a review meeting over the heavy rains in the state. “By the time I entered the House, Naidu was speaking emotionally,” he said. The statement further said it was Naidu himself who provoked YSRCP leaders by bringing up unrelated topics in the House. “He himself provokes the atmosphere in the House. Naturally, ruling party leaders will respond to that,” he said.

Further CM said that “when you make allegations, YSRCP leaders made counter-allegations, saying we also need to discuss the murders of Vangaveeti Mohana Ranga and Madhava Reddy and the death of Mallela Babji, which happened under the TDP regime. They only said so because they were provoked by Naidu,” Jagan said in his statement.

Claiming that YSRCP leaders did not comment on Naidu’s family members, he blamed Naidu in turn for talking about his own family, namely his uncle's former MP YS Vivekananda Reddy whose murder case is being investigated by the CBI. “It is Naidu who has spoken about my uncle, my mother and sister,” he said.
