It is surprising to hear senior Congress leader and Rajya Sabha member Palwai Govardhan Reddy openly stating that even if 20 MLAs leave the party there is no threat to government as TDP is there to support the government. At a time when YSR Congress party is accusing TDP of having secret pact with Congress party in keeping Kiran Kumar’s government afloat and in fixing Jagan Mohan Reddy to in jail, Palwai’s statement comes as a big shock to TDP. It not only provides a new weapon to beleaguered YSR Congress party to intensify its attacks on TDP, but also affects the reliability of TDP. At the same time it might be a strategic statement to ensure the Congress rivals indulge in a bitter battle so as it could divert their attention from power crisis, so as the government can have sigh of relief.
