YSR Congress party on Tuesday challenged Telugu Desam Party president and chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu to declare the exit poll survey commissioned by him on the evening of May 19.
YSRC Congress general secretary Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy asserted that the TDP would disappear into the history soon and YSRC is going to emerge as the face of the future.
“Instead of blowing your trumpet saying all surveys are predicting the TDP victory, disclose your survey results on May 19 and compare them with the May 23 results,” he said.
Reddy said Naidu was scared of the results and the debacle in the making was known to him much earlier which was manifested in his incoherent statements and knee-jerk reactions.
“The buying of 23 legislators and picking up quarrels with various institutions to project himself as a national leader— all stem from the fear of being reduced to non-entity in a short span of time,” he said.
He said YSRC president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy had made just one statement saying the party would get landslide victory and there ended the matter.
“With the long experience in public life Chandrababu lacks the grace and has been talking every day of the results only to keep his flock together as he senses everyone would desert him and TDP would be history and its 40-year story would come to an end,” he said.
He wondered why Naidu was conducting constituency-wise reviews now.
“Normally reviews are done after the results are announced but here is TDP which is making reviews as a continuous process even before the results are announced. This is an exercise only to give his cadre the false impression that people still have faith in the party,” he said.
