KCR, Naidu cheating Telugus: Madhu Yashki

Hyderabad: Former MP Madhu Yashki Goud on Thursday alleged that the ongoing tussle between Chief Ministers of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, K Chandrashekar Rao and N Chandrababu Naidu, was artificial.

Speaking to media on the Assembly premises here, Madhu Yashki said both the Chief Ministers had been fighting in public as part of match-fixing with the sole intention of diverting the attention of people’s from real issues.

He said although the people had given them mandate for five years, both were preparing grounds for 2019 elections.

Yashki said both the Chief Ministers lived in the same joint capital of Hyderabad and also had a common Governor.

If Chandrababu Naidu was doing some injustice to Telangana or if Andhra Pradesh was having any problem with the Telangana government, both the Chief Ministers could speak to each other and even meet for a few minutes to resolve the issue, he said. However, as part of the secret understanding, both were resorting to allegations and counter-allegations, he said adding that both KCR and Naidu were cheating the Telugu speaking people of two States.

Yashki said both the Chief Ministers would meet the same fate as the BJP and Congress faced in Delhi if they did not mend their ways.
