'Don't poke your nose in Kuppam'

Telugu Desam president N Chandrababu Naidu has given a strong warning to Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy against indulging in dirty politics in Kuppam, from where he is contesting.

For the first time in the last two decades, Naidu campaigned in Kuppam and stayed put for the whole day in the constituency, fearing that the Congress might use all its energies to defeat him. The Congress has gained ground in the segment in the last five years. While the Congress claims that the developmental schemes helped the party improve its position in the segment, TDP workers allege that the Congress is resorting to all sorts of machinations like threatening TDP workers and foisting cases on them.

Naidu wanted to give moral support to his party workers who complained to him about goondaism of the Congress. He urged Kuppam voters to reject the money, silver ornaments, liquor offered by rivals and support him for a model Kuppam to develop and improvement of conditions in the State. “Brothers, be vigilant for two more days. Do not fall prey to the decpetive policies of Congress,’’ Naidu appealed to voters.
