Chandrababu Naidu to blame for Mala-Madiga rift

Saifabad: Mala Mahanadu national president Chennayya on Wednesday blamed former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's conspiracy for the Mala-Madiga differences.

Addressing a meeting in Ambedkar Bhavan, he expressed happiness over the assertion of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jaganmohan Reddy in the State Assembly that SC categorisation was not possible and that his party would not support it.

Chennayya pointed out that Jagan had struck to the party stand as he had stated during his 'padayatra'. He threatened not to allow Naidu to move in the Telugu States, while appealing to other States to take Jagan as a model in opposing the categorisation.

The Mala Mahanadu chief claimed that there was no change in Naidu despite the Supreme Court rejecting the then TDP government's Assembly resolution on categorisation. He warned that the organisation would seek to stall the categorisation if the Centre takes up a bill.
