Ambati Rambabu criticizes TDP for fielding expelled YSRCP leaders in elections

Amaravati: Ambati Rambabu, a leader from the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), criticized that Chandrababu Naidu is inviting leaders expelled from their party, offering them tickets, and fielding them in elections. He reminded that leaders like Lavu Krishnadevarayulu and Janga Krishnamurthy, who left YSRCP, have now joined TDP. He mocked TDP for their lack of candidates and clarified that he criticized Chandrababu and Pawan Kalyan but never resorted to derogatory language against them. However, he accused Chandrababu of stooping low in his discourse. Ambati made these statements while speaking with the media on Sunday.

He mentioned that TDP is facing rejection everywhere in Andhra Pradesh during the legislative assembly election campaign. Even small meetings organized by TDP are failing to attract people, and Chandrababu's campaign meetings are being termed complete flops. Ambati claimed that Chandrababu lacks the moral right to criticize Chief Minister Jagan and made severe remarks about Chandrababu's lack of shame and honor. He also alleged that even Chandrababu cannot remember the names of his party candidates and noted that TDP leaders like Kanna Lakshminarayana are criticizing Chandrababu.

Ambati predicted that YSRCP would win in all 175 constituencies in the state, ensuring Jagan would become the Chief Minister again. He referred to surveys that support this prediction and said Chandrababu is frustrated knowing his impending defeat. He added that Pawan Kalyan would also face defeat, questioning the purpose of his political involvement when he spends most of his time away from campaigning.

Responding to allegations against him, Ambati addressed the criticisms from opposition parties. He asserted that he doesn't need to engage in politics for money and accused Chandrababu of misusing the Polavaram project like an ATM for false propaganda against him. He criticized opposition leaders for faulting his dance during the Sankranti festival, emphasizing that unlike Chandrababu, who "dances" with different parties, he is not a "political dancer."
