VIJAYAWADA: Senior Congress leader and former minister JD Seelam said the party would hold talks with the AIADMK and TRS to convince them to see that the notice for no-confidence motion against the NDA government in Parliament would be admitted on March 27. Speaking to reporters in Vijayawada on Sunday, he said the Congress had been stating from the beginning that it will support no-confidence motion moved against the Centre by any party.
“But the two parties from the State have failed to convince other parties protesting in Parliament. We are certain that we will be able to convince them,” he said. Commenting on Amit Shah’s letter to TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu, Seelam said the letter is full of distortion of facts. He questioned the silence of the BJP chief over funds for R&R and land acquisition for the Polavaram project.
He lambasted Naidu for blaming the Congress for everything and said if he had found lapses in the Act, why he didn’t propose any amendments. “If Chandrababu Naidu said good bye to the BJP two years ago when the special package was proposed by the Centre, it would have done a lot of good to the State,” he observed.
The Congress leader also demanded YSRC party and Pawan Kalyan’s Janasena to spell out their stance while stressing the need for an all party meeting over Special Category Status.
Meanwhile, in a press release here on Sunday, APCC president N Raghuveera Reddy said both the TDP and BJP were continuing to mislead people over SCS.
